Between 8 and 15 June 1944 the 101st Airborne Division fought the Battle of Carentan against troops of the 6th Parachute Regiment (Fallschirm Regiment) and the 17th SS-Panzergrenadier Division. Carentan was one of the key positions to take Cherbourg and the Cotentin Peninsula. The attacking 101st Airborne Division, landed by parachute on 6 June as part of the American airborne landings in Normandy, was ordered to seize Carentan. https://www.beyondbandofbrothers.com/timeline/
