Summary
The Lost Paratroopers of Normandy recounts the true story of American paratroopers who landed off-target in a small French village during the D-Day invasion of 1944. Stephen G. Rabe chronicles how French villagers risked their lives to hide and protect these stranded soldiers from German forces. The book examines the courage and solidarity displayed by ordinary French civilians who joined the resistance effort, highlighting the human connections forged during wartime.
