Dead Man's Corner Museum

Centre Historique des Parachutistes du Jour-J Museums In Normandy, on June 6, 1944, the objective of the American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions was to support the landings at Utah Beach.
Their mission was to cut off the south of the Cotentin peninsula, securing the beach backs and communications routes at Carentan, and taking Sainte-Mère-Eglise.

Dead Man's Corner, the "Carrefour de l'homme Mort", is one of these mythical battle sites. At this crossroads overlooking the marshes, a direct access route between Utah Beach and Carentan, stands a bourgeois villa that served on June 6, 1944 as Quartier Général et poste de secours aux parachutistes allemands. It would later serve as a Command Post for American paratroopers.
