The history of Falschirmjager regiment 6 states they had run out of ammunition and abandoned the town leaving behind a 7 man rearguard who promised to delay the Americans as best they could. Some of the rearguard were lost, some survived. The final attack had artillery and M10 tank destroyer support... I really enjoy these videos.
I was here in august 2021. And I cried like a child in front of the monument. I know the history of Batlle for Carentan, I listen a lot of testimonies of survivors of Easy Company, so the arrival at this place was full of emotions
I subscribed your interesting channel. I visited Normandy twice in my life, for the 60th and 70th anniversary. Obviously Carentan was in my list because I read the Ambrose book and I watched the TV series. Maybe in the future I'll return in Normandy, but when i want visit a place, I'll watch your videos.
I visited my Sister several yrs ago who lived in Forest or Lynchburg, Va. She surprised me with a Maltese puppy, I had just divorced with kids who had left home so she decided I needed a dog.She was right I still have her. Then she said one more surprise.....and we went to learn about D-Day. It seemed so real with the statues of soldiers simulating that fateful day. I never was a history buff but found this so interesting, still do.
Appreciate your stories that describe each individual’s experience; pot shots after filling up on cider, another whose trigger finger was shot, another whose arm was shot and, with his new top priority, simply turned around to head for the aid station. I know of the Christmas truce of Bastogne, but did not know that in WWII there were truces to clear the dead or wounded.
There was a truce at la Fiere on the 7th. The germans attacking across the causeway called for a truce to take off wounded. They didn’t attack again on the 7th. ruclips.net/video/i5Mjvz2EHqc/видео.html
'Glad that he wasn't facing Patton' is perhaps the best comment in this very well put together orientation.

The story of the young girl that brought flowers to the soldiers only to lose her life from German bombs is sad & tragic.
