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.

What impact did the US airborne division have on World War 2?
Answer That is a good question for discussion. First thought is that the US Airborne Division was smaller than an Infantry Division, so it would naturally have less impact. They were well trained and had great equipment, but because of the nature of being airborne, they were more lightly armed than an equivalent infantry squad or platoon. The planners thought the paratroopers would be a great advantage when assaulting an enemy position but they results did not substantiate this. Some of this is due to the fact that the airborne units suffered losses during their jump and many were scattered over a broad area that made them less effective. On the other hand, the airborne troops were very mobile and versatile unit that could be deployed in an instant to the place where it was needed. Airborne troops were sent to "plug the hole" at Salerno, Anzio, and Battle of the Bulge. The paratroopers were trained to think and fight on their own. They expected to be out numbered and surrounded.
