Introduction |
---|
More failures to capture or blow up the bridges across the Douve River north of Carentan on D+1 made such missions the 101st Airborne Division's overriding priority the next day. Although the lock at La Bourquette and the two wooden bridges to the east were in American hands, the German-held highway bridge remained an open door to Utah Beachhead's southern flank. General Maxwell Taylor ordered the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment to attack. |
Conclusion |
---|
The American attack was plagued by lack of coordination and the failure of the glider battalion to participate. But, after a while the Germans had enough and gradually fell back before the American advance. At 1400 the Germans withdrew across the Douve and blew the bridge the Americans had been trying for three days to destroy. |
