Two gliders collided in mid-air and crashed on the landing zone while men of the 506th were still moving off the DZ. Many of them came in to rescue the glidermen. In this picture we see S/Sgt Crawford and Pvt.Spiewak, both of 506th HQ, Cpt. Tilden McGee (the Protestant Chaplain of the 506th) and Cpt. Clovis Y. Tollet of the 506th 1st battalion.
Sgt. David M. Rogers of 506th HQ told me he remembers being a few hundred meters from the crash site.
