Introduction
|
|
At 1400 the 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment planned to drive through the enemy positions opposite them to seize Le Ham. The 1st Battalion received the honor of spearheading the attack until Montebourg Sation fell. The 2nd Battalion would pass through them and capture Le Ham. The attack commenced on time as the paratroopers advanced behind a solid smoke screen.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
According to the 1st Battalion Commander Lt. Col. Mark Alexander, "The first part of the attack worked fine . . . Montebourg Station was cleared with minimum losses." However, "The 2nd Battalion was one half hour late in following; giving the Germans time . . . they stopped the 2nd Battalion cold just outside the village." By 2300 they were still encountering heavy resistance just outside Le Ham, so headquarters ordered them to break contact and withdraw.
