Normandy 1944
Bloody Gulch / Hill 30 sector
Easy Company
The story
On 13 June German forces counterattacked south-west of Carentan. The 506th held until armour arrived. For Easy a test of holding ground, not seizing it. The exact hedgerow line is disputed.
What to look for
Battlefield terrain, not a single-point attraction: hedgerows, folds and restricted sightlines.
