The Brecourt Manor Assault took place on June 6th, 1944, and served as a significant battle during the Normandy Invasion of World War 2. The Germans had a battery of M102 105mm Howitzers from the 1st BN, 6th Parachute Regiment and were defended by a light infantry company armed with MG42 machine guns and fortified by a complex system of trench lines. Using these advantages, the German battery began firing onto causeway exit two leading off Utah Beach – effectively disrupting the landing effort of Allied forces. It was Easy Company of the 101st Airborne division that led the assault on Brecourt Manor in order to facilitate freedom of movement for allied forces 3 miles north of their position. It was D-Day, June 1944, would be the first combat experience for the men of Easy Company. |
