Historical Background:
US paratroopers of 101th Airborne Division advanced towards Carentan on the 10th of June by crossing several bridges under the fire of German 88mm antitank gun. During the night, 502th Parachute regiment of Ltc Cole seized Ingouf farm, which became the 502th PIR HQ after been the HQ of German 6.Fallschirmjäger Regiment of Oberstleutnant Von der Heydte. US paratroopers stopped by the resistance of German paratroopers, made defensive positions in hedgerows around the farm and in a field called "Carré de choux". On the 11th of June , they were harassed by mortar fire and several attacks of Fallschirmjägers. Near to withdraw behind the Madeleine river, US paratroopers held out their positions only by the support of an Allied barrage fire just in front of their lines. This barrage fire stopped the last German attack. German paratroopers of 6.FS Rgt, exhausted too and decimated, left definitively Carentan in the evening.
