About The Map :

Sainte-Marie-du-Mont is a commune in the region of Normandy in north-western France just north of Carentan.
On the night of June 5-6, 1944, paratroopers from 506th and 501st PIR of the 101st Airborne Division got dropped over Stainte-Marie-Du-Mont as part of the Operation Neptune.
A fierce firefight breaks out in the area immediately after they land.

A parachute stick is dropped over the Holdy battery: they are killed or taken prisoner when they landed by Artillery-Regiment 191 artillerymen. At the dawn 506th PIR command line company and the Charly company of the 1st Battalion of the 506th PIR, reinforced by a dozen Paratroopers of the 502nd PIR take by storm the position defended by some fifty Germans. A bazooka shot blew up a stockpile of ammunition, killing and injuring several artillerymen. The paratroopers seized the four howitzers after a quick but violent battle and discovered the lifeless bodies of several American soldiers mutilated with bayonets.

In the meantime 1st Battalion, 506th PIR are investing the church and its bell tower, a great view of the area from which they can apply fires with a small group of paratroopers.
Later in the morning shells were fired at the bell tower and one of them touched the building without causing any injuries. The origin of the firing was uncertain, but they were probably fired by one of the guns of the battery of the Holdy who thought that the steeple was still in the hands of the Germans.

Early in the afternoon, landed troops from the 4th Infantry Division coming from Utah Beach pulled out of the shore and into the inland, respectively, by the roads named “Exit 1” and “Exit 2” by the Americans. They take part in the capture of Sainte-Marie-du-Mont, notably with the support of the Sherman tanks of the 70th Tank Battalion, which is entirely under control in the early afternoon. Two German soldiers, who had hidden in the confessional of the vicar of the church, are taken prisoner around 18 hours by the American military police.
