Well now....Didn’t the guy who’s parachute got entangled on the steeple, during that same raid, also just die in the past week or two?

Different movie?
Different raid?

The Red Buttons character in "The Longest Day"?

That’s from “The Longest Day”, if we’re thinking of the same scene.

Yes, Red Buttons in The Longest Day, playing an 82nd Division Paratrooper who was dropped right on top of a town called St. Mere Eglise, IIRC.

They were supposed to be dropped outside of town...

Part of the same operation - D-Day.
