77 Years ago today the small hamlet of Vierville between Utah Beach and Carentan was the site of quite a fierce battle between US forces and a German Fallschirmjäger battalion. Tanks from D/70th and A/746th engaged along with paratroops from LTC Robert Strayer's 2/506th.
Our guest is Easy Company historian and retired US Marine Joe Muccia / jmuccia3
