Try Sainte-Mere-Eglise which was the first French town liberated by the US Parachutists.





key in: Ste-Mere-Eglise Tidbits:





This will give you the story of how a US Parachutists got tangled up on the church spire and just hung there. As they fell from the skies hundreds were shot by the Germans before they landed.





It is depicted in The Longest Day and the role of the Parachutist was played by Red Buttons.





Good Luck




Africa's difficult for this - the lack of large cities,a modern infrastructure, and the fact that most battles took place in the desert, meant the few civilians in the area were largely unaffected by the fighting.


The German forces sent there, the Deutsche Afrika Korps, and their commander, General (later Field Marshall) Erwin Rommel were regarded as honourable opponents by the Allies, and no member of the German armed forces in the African campaigns was ever accused of any war crimes.


I'd go with the suggestion of the earlier answerer, and look at the Italian invasion of Abyssinia (1935-1936), during which the Italians used poison gas..




I'd suggest looking at the Italian war against Abyssinia, it's a little before WW2 but it's directly relevant.
