U.S. airborne troops famously captured the town of Normandy during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. Specifically, they took control of key areas such as Sainte-Mère-Église and Carentan to secure the beaches for the larger Allied invasion. This operation was crucial for establishing a foothold in Nazi-occupied Europe.

US airborne troops famously captured the town of Carentan in Normandy, France, during World War II. This strategic location was taken in June 1944, shortly after the D-Day landings, as part of the broader effort to secure the area and facilitate the Allied advance into Europe. The capture of Carentan helped to link the beachheads established by American forces at Utah and Omaha beaches.
