COBI-2299 Sainte-Mère-Église Churc

/Planned Release Date: 20 May/

The Sainte-Mere-Eglise Church has been released in a collection prepared for the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied landings in Normandy and is marked with the official logo of the organisers of the official anniversary celebrations.

For the first time in the history of COBI, we present a set combining the history of World War II and architecture! The church of Sainte-Mère-Église, located in Normandy, France, gained worldwide fame thanks to the events of June 6, 1944, which took place during the Allied invasion of occupied France (D-Day). The 82 US Airborne Division, was tasked with gaining control of Sainte-Mère-Église. However, as a result of an unfortunate landing, one of the paratroopers (John Steele) got stuck on the church tower. He survived, though wounded, and hung from the tower for hours, witnessing the fighting taking place below.

The brick model of the church has been carefully reproduced from circa. 2250 COBI construction bricks. Included are the characteristic architectural details and magnificent stained glass windows! Even the clock on the church tower tells us exactly the time of the landing of the American paratroopers! Included within the set is an antique water pump, where a fierce battle took place! And the most conspicuous hero of the events, a paratrooper figure with parachute.
