[edit] Trooper Steele

I don't remember Steele being captured in 'The Longest Day'. I thought he feigned death (although actually only deaf)and was on hand to advise John Wayne et al. when they arrived the next day. I may be misremembering (it's been a while), but if not the text here is misleading. Badgerpatrol 02:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

There's a John Steele (Paratrooper) page... AnonMoos 21:33, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Coat of Arms

According to The Complete Book of Heraldry by Stephen Slater (2002), page 96, the coat of arms of the town shows two white stars parachuting down on either side of a church labelled with the letters "AM" (and with a yellow lion on red at the bottom). It's not convenient for me to scan the page in (and it very likely wouldn't be available for free use if I did scan it), but some representation of the coat of arms would make a nice addition to this page...

There's a small pic at http://flagspot.net/flags/fr-50-sm.html , but the colors are somewhat different to what is shown in the book, and it's less detailed... AnonMoos 21:42, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
