XVIII Airborne Corps highlights the historic sites in Normandy, France, as part of the 78th Anniversary of D-Day. U.S. Army Capt. Matt Visser visits the famous Purple Heart Lane in Carentan, France.
This site had one of the bloodiest battles of D-Day, between German forces and American Paratroopers assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault). The battalion was led by Lt. Col. Robert G. Cole.
The causeway was nicknamed Purple Heart Lane due to the large number of casualties that occurred during the fierce battle.
