The Battle for Carentan and the surrounding area took place between June 12-13, 1944. The city is dominated by high ground to the southwest and southeast, all of which was under German control during the battle.
Over the following days numerous photos and films were taken by the men of the Signal Corps units documenting the Allied Landings in Normandy as part of Operation Overlord.
In this episode of WW2 Wayfinder, I will take you on a journey to Carentan to examine the various Then and Now photos of the men of the 101st Airborne and provide a breakdown of why they are important!
Apologies in advance for the sound as I had some microphone issues during filming combating the high winds!
If you enjoy this Then and Now episode I have lots more on my channel if you have time to watch!
