Ce qu'en dit Mark Bando, très officieux historien de la 101 Airborne :
"...The 506th circled the west side of Carentan in a night maneuver on 11-12 June, and on the morning of the 12th attacked from west to east coming-in to the small portion of town south of the rr line. They met a 'T' junction with the road which runs south toward Perriers, and fanned left and right to clear the buildings of Germans. One bulding on the SW corner of that 'T' junction still bears a lot of bullet pockmarks from that morning many years ago..."
