John Steele was the most famous of the paratroopers, because he and another got caught up on the church. The other was killed, but Steele was shot in the foot and ended up playing dead for two hours, so that no Germans would shoot him. He was captured by the Germans but later escaped, and rejoined his comrades, who were shocked that he was still alive - he was too convincing in playing dead and they were certain he was dead up on that church. One of the tour members commented that this recreation looks a bit creepy.
