/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Media seeking exclusive and unique
interview opportunities that will highlight the memories and
sacrifices of those who served on D-Day, June 6, 1944, can now schedule for on-location at
several historic sites in Normandy. To commemorate this very
special 80th Anniversary of D-Day, Jim
Trippon, son of American Army Technical Sergeant
John Trippon (deceased), and
94-year-old Jean-Paul Hausermann who
was liberated on D-Day with his family by Trippon, will be offering
media interviews. This is an opportunity for journalists to bring
special reflection to their audiences regarding the bravery and
sacrifices of the American Troops who fought and died for
freedom.
Media seeking exclusive and unique
interview opportunities that will highlight the memories and
sacrifices of those who served on D-Day, June 6, 1944, can now schedule for on-location at
several historic sites in Normandy.
All media are invited to conduct in-person interviews at three
different locations: Chateau Vierville, owned by the Hausermann
family, Omaha Beach, and the WW2 reenactment camp. They will have
the opportunity to connect with Jean-Paul
Hausermann on the grounds of the famous chateau. This castle
overlooks Omaha Beach and served as the German coastal defense
commander's headquarters until being liberated by Sergeant Trippon and American Forces on D-Day in
1944. Jean-Paul and his family were held prisoners here in their
own home. As a combat engineer, Technical Sergeant Trippon landed
on Omaha Beach during the second wave of troops on D-Day, and his
role in capturing the Nazi field headquarters at the Chateau
Vierville was a pivotal moment in the battle. For the next 10
months following D-Day, Chateau Vierville served as the U.S. port
headquarters for the famous Mulberry Harbor on Omaha Beach.
Media are requested to schedule in advance and will have
exclusive on-location video and photo shooting opportunities,
including:
- Unlimited access to the castle known as
Chateau Vierville (headquarters for the Nazi defenses prior to
D-Day and headquarters for the famous "Mulberry Harbor" for 10
months after D-Day).
- Access to photograph and experience the
WW2 reenactment camp on Chateau grounds, featuring more than 100
original US Army WW2 vehicles.
- Videotaping and photo locations of the
rooms used by Rommel and the U.S. Command staff.
- Voice notes from Technical Sergeant
John Trippon, now deceased.
- Photos of Jean-Paul Hausermann who was 14 on D-Day and
held prisoner with his family in the chateau.
- Sit-down interviews in Normandy from
June 3-7 with Jim Trippon (son of Normandy hero Sergeant
John Trippon) and Jean-Paul Hausermann.
- Phone, video call, or in-studio
interviews in Houston before
June 1 with Jim Trippon.
