:35:01
but if we don't off-load
those Shermans by 0600,
:35:03
we're gonna have
an entire division
:35:05
stuck at Carentan with
its pants around its ankles.
:35:08
Well, you let me know.
:35:10
Have Charlie Company
hold at Vierville
:35:11
until we can get
some armor up there.
:35:14
Yes, sir.
Runner!
:35:15
[Truck lgnition Grinding]
:35:21
Airborne was supposed
to win an open door
:35:23
for the rest of us.
:35:24
Instead they misdropped,
:35:25
scattered all their
sticks into the wind.
:35:27
What's your situation?
:35:28
Uh, yes, sir.
Sector 4 is secure.
:35:30
We, uh...
:35:32
we took out towed 88s
:35:34
here, here...
:35:36
and here.
:35:38
They'd already gotten
4 of our Shermans
:35:39
and a number of our
deuce-and-a-halves.
:35:41
These 2 minefields
are actually one big one.
:35:43
We tried to make our way up
through the middle of it,
:35:45
but it turned into a mixed,
high-density field--
:35:47
Iittle bit of everything.
:35:49
Sprengmine 44s,
Schumine 42s,
:35:51
pot mines, A-200s--
the little wooden bastards
:35:53
that the mine detectors
don't pick up.
:35:56
This road here...
:35:58
they placed big mushrooms--
Teller mine 43s,
:35:59
I guess for our tanks--
:36:01
from here right up
to the edge of the village,
:36:03
right here.
:36:05
So we marked 'em,
called the engineers.
:36:07
Resistance?
:36:08
We had higher support
expectations, sir.
:36:10
There was an understrength
company without artillery.
:36:12
Wehrmacht 346 lnfantry,
Von Luck Kampfgruppe.
:36:16
We ended up
with 23 prisoners.
:36:18
We turned them over
to M.P.s from the 29th.
:36:23
What about our casualties?
:36:26
Well...
:36:28
the figures...
:36:29
were 35 dead...
:36:32
times 2 wounded.
:36:33
They just...
:36:34
didn't wanna give up
those 88s.
:36:38
It was a tough assignment.
That's why you got it.
:36:41
Yes, sir.
:36:43
John...
:36:48
I've got another one
for you.
:36:49
Yes, sir.
:36:50
This one's straight
from the top.
:36:57
Miller:
I wish.
:36:58
You and I are taking
a squad over to Neuville
