The Girl Who Wore Freedom

Shortly after Danielle Patrix was born in Sainte Marie du Mont, the German army occupied France. On June 6, 1944, when Dany was five years old, the U.S. Army liberated her village from Nazi control. Wearing a dress made from the red, white, and blue parachutes of the American soldiers who freed her, Dany became known as The Girl Who Wore Freedom.
