Historical Background:
The US paratroopers of the 501st PIR (101st Airborne Division) liberated Vierville on June 6. The next day, at 1000 hours, the Green Devils (German paratroopers of the 1st Battalion/6.Fallschirmjäger Regiment) counterattacked from Basse-Addeville and the marshes of Carentan. The US troops were well entrenched in the castle and houses of Vierville and offered a strong resistance. The Green Devils suffered heavy losses in the pastures around the castle and eventually withdrew to the marshes but then, surrounded and outnumbered by the American paratroopers, they were forced to surrender.
