Fallschirmjäger vs. 101st Airborne in Normandy.

In Normandy, the Fallschirmjäger would go head to head with their equals - the 101st Airborne.

After the successful capture of the La Barquette Lock on D-Day, Colonel Johnson and his men from the 501st PIR of the 101st Airborne, would be instrumental in weakening the Fallschirmjäger in the Carentan area.

In the afternoon of June 7th, his forward outposts reported a large number of unknown troops heading their way. It soon became apparent they were Fallschirmjäger, so Johnson rallied his men and lay in wait for them.

The carnage wrought upon the Fallschirmjäger would lead to the area becoming known as 'Hell's Corner' by the men who fought there and for the Germans it would see the destruction of the 1st Battalion of the 6th Fallschirmjäger Regiment!
