A bit of history: The night of June 5 to June 6, 1944, an American parachutist Clifford A. Maugham, of the 505th PIR of the 82nd US Airborne Division, lands in the garden of this house at 1:45. The house, then occupied by a tired German officer from Russia, coexisted with the Monnier family. In the night of din due to the bombings, to the noise of the planes, M. Monnier with his wife and daughter went to take shelter in the trench at the end of the garden when a paratrooper fell beside them and stuck with them in the trench ... The German officer having seen everything, came flying his rifle over the American. Mr. Monnier, spontaneously, interposed between the two men who ended up talking to each other calmly, the German officer having understood that the Americans were everywhere! The French family spent these incredible few hours with these 2 enemies who finally respected each other. Maughan distributed chocolates, chewing gum and cigarettes (even in German). The American finally took the German and took him prisoner. He promised the German and the family not to kill him. After farewells and thanks to the family, the German was then taken with other prisoners. The Monnier girl saw Maughan again on the 40th anniversary of the landing and remembered this memory forever engraved in their memories.
