    Several airborne units are mixed up, and about 180 paratroopers belonging to the 2nd battalion of the 506th PIR gather at night near Foucarville. They were joined by some twenty paras of the 508th PIR and, at 0330, by Lieutenant-Colonel Robert L. Strayer commanding the 2nd battalion of the 506th PIR accompanied by fifty other paras. These elements unite their strength and head south at 0430. But immediately south of Foucarville, before Saint-Germain-de-Varreville, they were taken to task and fixed there until noon by the adversary. A detachment of 45 soldiers from company A of the 502nd PIR led by Lieutenant Wallace A. Swanson is sent to the Foucarville sector to block roads 17 and the departmental road 14. Shortly after noon, he set up four roadblocks. Meanwhile, the Germans deployed numerous reinforcements from the north of Cotentin, in particular the Sturm-Battalion AOK 7 and the Panzerjäger-Abteilung 709. Four vehicles are detected on the road between Beuzeville-au-Plain and Foucarville, and are destroyed by the action of Lieutenant Swanson. At the end of the day, the northern outskirts of Foucarville are run by the men of Swanson. The 22nd Infantry Regiment commanded by Colonel Hervey A. Tribolet arrive and settle for the night, south of the village.
