EP44 – The Battle for Les Droueries: Part 2

Send us Fan MailThe seesaw fight for Le Ferme Delaunay and Les Droueries. Despite launching multiple concerted attacks against German positions, LTC Robert Ballard found himself and his 2nd Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry in a death struggle. It was a test of will between the Americans and German grenadiers and Fallschirmjäger. Repeatedly taking and giving up ground and even being hit by their own naval gunfire support couldn’t prevent these Geronimo paratroopers from winning. In the second episode of this two-part series, Joe dissects the battle at the tactical level and tells the story using the words of the men that fought it.
