Liberty Road - Kilometer 0

(France - Basse-Normandie - Sainte-Mère-Église)

The Liberty Highway has two paths, one to Bastogne, the other via Reims, Verdun, Metz to Strasbourg. This one follows the route to Bastogne.

There is a lot of confusion about where exactly the Kilometer 0 pole is located. For example, there is also "[url = http://www.oorlogsmusea.nl/article/2322] Liberty Highway - Kilometer 00 [/url], which is placed at Utah beach.
Geographically, the place at Utah beach is the actual location where the Americans went on the beaches of France. Chronologically speaking, Sainte-Mère-Eglise was liberated earlier than Utah beach by the U.S. paratroopers.

Behind Kilometer 0 is a monument placed what commemorates the 22 victims of Sainte-Mère-Eglise (including a WOI verteraan).
