Sainte-Mère-Église Church Brick Set (COBI)
COBI's first set combining Second World War history and architecture.
This church gained worldwide fame after a D-Day operation that saw American soldier John Steele get stuck on the church tower after an unfortunate landing. Suspended high above the ground, the helpless soldier witnessed fierce fighting in the city. He survived, although he was injured himself. To commemorate this event, a figure depicting John Steele was permanently placed on the church tower.
