The story
A dispersion lesson, not four exact landing sites. Men landed across a broad area and assembled in improvised groups; the company that fought on 6 June was not the one that boarded in England.
What to look for
Compare the plotted points with the intended DZ C to grasp how much cohesion had to be rebuilt on the ground.
