Liberated French town immortalizes American soldiers

By JOCELYN GECKER
The Associated Press

PERIERS, France - World War II veterans and their families honored the U.S. 90th Infantry Division on Sunday, commemorating a monument to the more than 1,000 men it lost in bloody battles to liberate this Normandy town. Aging veterans saluted as a U.S. Army cloth was lifted from "the four brave" - a life-sized bronze statue of four young Americans killed near Periers before Hitler's army was driven out of the town on July 27, 1944.
Relatives, some of whom knew the four soldiers only from black-and-white photos, stood weeping as they took video of the unveiling.
"I never knew my father. I've only seen pictures of him," said Ann S. Giese, 55, of Oahu, Hawaii, who was born six months after her father, Sergeant Andrew Speese, died. She laid a wreath around the neck of the statue modeled after her father. "It's a very good likeness, I think."
In another war-era ceremony, Britain's Prince Charles joined aging veterans to mark the 60th anniversary of the Dunkirk evacuation - the stunning operation to whisk some 338,000 Allied soldiers under German siege across the English channel to safety.
But the ceremony will be the last, since the Dunkirk Veterans Association is going to disband after losing more men to old age.
An 81-year-old veteran, Walter Darvill, of Pontefract, West Yorkshire, collapsed and died at Sunday's ceremony at Dunkirk, police said.
In Periers, the monument was unveiled on a grassy plot in front of the town hall. It depicts Virgil Tangborn, a medic from Bemidji, Minn., helping the wounded Speese, of Philadelphia. Watching over them is soldier Richard Richtman, of Minneapolis, as Sergeant Tullio Micaloni, of Oneida, Penn., gestures for his tank crew to roll forward.
The four represent the approximately 1,140 soldiers from the 90th Division who died in the assault to push German troops from the area around Periers. The first Allied bombing of the town ahead of the assault was on June 8, 1944, and by the time the town was liberated, it was bombed to ruins.
Periers sat in the middle of the German supply road and also provided Hitler's army with an escape route to the northern port of Cherbourg, some 40 miles north.
"These men gave so much to us," said Henri Levaufre, 70, a lifelong resident of Periers, a town of 2,600, and president of a French-American group named after the 90th Division that raised $50,000 to fund the monument's construction. "Whatever I can do in return is nothing compared to what they did."
"This is a memorial to every soldier who has taken up arms against tyranny," said U.S. Gen. David Bockel, commander of the 90th Regional Support Command, based in Arkansas.

THIS DAY IN MINNESOTA HISTORY

2000 June 4

A statue is unveiled in Periers, Normandy, France, of four American soldiers who died trying to free the town from the Germans during World War II. Citizens of the town and veterans of the Ninetieth Division raised funds for the monument. Two Minnesotans are commemorated in the statue: Virgil Tangborn of Bemidji and Richard Richtman of Minneapolis. It is unusual for statues dedicated to the memory of common soldiers to be of specific individuals.

The Events displayed are from The Minnesota Book of Days compiled by Tony Greiner and published by the Minnesota Historical Society Press.

 

 

French Town Honors WW II U.S. Liberators

PERIERS, France — World War II veterans and their families honored the U.S. 90th Infantry Division on Sunday, inaugurating a monument to the more than 1,000 men it lost in bloody battles to liberate this Normandy town.

When the telegram came in July 1944 to the little farm outside Bemidji, Minn., telling that Virgil Tangborn had been killed, it came first to his mother.

She started walking out to the field where Virgil's father and brothers were working, but it was too far, the burden too heavy.

"I don't remember who went and told them the news," Luella, Virgil's sister, wrote years later in a family memoir. "Soon they came back and came in the house and sat down. My father said, `I feel so poor.' "

In the bronze statue unveiled in a small town in France on Sunday, Virgil Tangborn is shown as a young medic, a stretcher-bearer, and that's What He Was When He Was Killed on June 14, 1944, just after D-Day.

"To my knowledge one of monuments like the originals and said a journalist from Channel free "real thing".

Two years of work to reconstruct the particular faces of the soldiers Killed In Action from photographs provided by families, which was not originally planned. The statue of Tullio Micaloni, the tank driver who called to the rescue required the knowledge of dental prosthesis of the sculptor, mold internal Cree, half-open mouth of the soldier.

Memorials are for most of the headstones or plaques with inscriptions, monuments realistic are much more rare: the only reference that comes is the work of Frederik Hank: "The Three Soldiers" of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington who represents three soldiers standing. One can imagine that they read the wall the names of their fallen comrades.

Under strict control, the artist has succeeded in creating a choreography this human drama. The faces are a beautiful expression.

" Each character is off balance, slightly off-center relative to its center of gravity to move through the passage from life to death which is in the middle of the three people injured is not quite dead nor quite alive, his head begins to unravel. The nurse in a useless gesture, but the coach supports awkwardly each knowing his future.

The characters are real, are no longer in an appearance, awkward gestures almost give a human reality. The tank driver angry calls for help while being fully aware of the scene unfolding behind him. All play their role of proximity and distance from the dying man to accompany, away in his departure, which perhaps also their near future.

The egos of men who destroy themselves is exacerbated by war.

This monument is a testimony to the light and the respect of everyone. "
