Night Over Cotentin: Airborne Narrative Inspired by the Museum
A narrative reconstruction of the airborne phase over Cotentin grounded in Airborne Museum context.
Aircraft doors open into darkness. Coordinates are memorized, not visible. In minutes, plans begin to fragment.
Fragment 1: Drop
Some land close to objectives. Others scatter into flooded fields and hedgerow mazes.
Fragment 2: Regroup
Improvised teams form quickly, guided by terrain and urgency.
Fragment 3: Objective
Bridges and junctions become verbs: hold, delay, reconnect.
No perfect plan survives contact.
Intent survives when people adapt.
Fragment 4: Dawn
Dawn clarifies purpose: create time and space for seaborne landings to survive.
