Pero en frente, los paracaidistas alemanes, los Fallschirmjäger del 6º Regimiento, no se lo pondrían nada fácil.

Hoy guripas, acompañados por DENIS VAN DEN BRINK, nuestro amigo experto en las unidades aerotransportadas americanas, descubriremos todos los lugares relacionados con la toma de Carentan.
