Utah and Omaha were separated by the Vire River estuary. Carentan was the first major town on the river, and as such was of vital tactical importance. However, this was not lost on the Germans, who dispatched their elite Fallschirmj\u0026amp;auml;ger-Regiment 6 to hold the town. On the US side, the task of capturing Carentan fell to the 101st Airborne Division, and in the week following D-Day, US and German troops waged a battle for Carentan. Here, expert historian Steven J. Zaloga goes in depth into the initial battle on June 10\u0026amp;ndash;12 , 1944, the German counterattack and the final Allied victory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67893350924601,"sku":"OSPCAM862","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4821\/4585\/files\/OSPCAM862_web_Front__91099.1779824521.1280.1280.jpg?v=1793465372","url":"https:\/\/detectivehawkgames.com\/products\/carentan-1944","provider":"Detective Hawk Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
