In the game
In the ‘Brecourt’ mission you attack a German artillery battery dug in along the hedgerows near the manor.
History in brief
On D-Day, 6 June 1944, a small group of US paratroopers knocked out German guns here that were shelling the Utah Beach causeways, an action later made famous by Band of Brothers.
The place today
A private working farm behind Utah Beach. The Dick Winters Leadership Monument stands in nearby Sainte-Marie-du-Mont.
