English language Wikipedia, article about Négreville

modifier

I added this info today to the English article:

This area was close to the Normandy beaches where the Allies invaded France on D-Day in June 1944. By the spring that year, Négreville was occupied by the command post of the Artillerie-Abteilung 456 (91 Infanterie-Division). On June 6, 1944 an American Douglas C-47 airplane was hit by German artillery above the commune, leading the 19 paratroopers to immediately jump, some 12 kilometers short of their planned target; several were injured or killed. On 19 June 1944, the American 313th Infantry Regiment (79th Infantry Division) reached Négreville on its way north. https://www.dday-overlord.com/en/battle-of-normandy/cities/negreville

In spring 2019, the mayors Normandy communes asked for U.S. participation in ceremonies during the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings and subsequent liberation. Arrangements were still being made in late April 2019. https://www.eur.army.mil/DDay75/Negreville/
