A lot of farmland in Normandy was planted with fence posts by the Germans before the invasion.
These were often refered to as " Rommel's Asparagus(sp)."

the hedgerows are up to ten feet high in france so the this may be a facter why the glider crashed with so many men dieing.

Do you think it hit a tree and flipped?

yes, they were supposed to stop forces from normandy to the ocean wall to make the beach invasion easier. but unfortuantely there were alot of miscalculations.
