Journaling:
On the night before D-Day , American soldiers of the 82nd Airborne were parachuting into the area west of Sainte-Mère-Église. Steele was one of the few not killed. He was wounded in the foot by a burst of flak. His parachute caught in one of the pinnacles of the church tower, leaving him hanging on the side of the church. Steele hung there limply for two hours, pretending to be dead, before the Germans took him prisoner. He escaped four hours later from the Germans and rejoined his division.
