Introduction
|
|
Earlier in the morning, Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole had established his bridgehead over the Madeleine River with the help of Lt. Col. Cassidy's battalion. They quickly secured their perimeter in anticipation of the inevitable counterattack. Surprisingly, it was the Fallschirmjägers they had just driven off who did the attacking.
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
Both sides suffered heavily in the fighting around the Ingouf Farm, but the Screaming Eagles prevailed and now considered the bridgehead secured. While the Americans quickly brought up replacements to replace their losses, the Fallschirmjägers were unable to do so. It takes special men to pay the dues needed to become a paratrooper, and many of the Germans that would have made those sacrifices already lay at eternal rest in the unconquerable vastness of Russia.
