Bayonet Charge at Purple Heart Lane (Normandy, 1944 Documentary)
On 10th June 1944 along this roadway between Omaha and Utah beaches outside the town of Carentan, men of the 101st Airborne Division fixed bayonets, rose from cover and charged towards waiting German Paratroopers. Under a hail of fire and in hand-to-hand combat, they gained a vital foothold in one of the key locations in the battle for Normandy. But just why was it so important? And how was it achieved?

    Can you imagine how confident the German crew must of felt because they thought it was just another American tank with weak gun. I tell they had no idea what was coming and had no idea what the hell happened while running.
