The name DMC refers to a small Allied tank destroyed by German paratroopers, who were well entrenched around the building that now houses an intriguing museum.
The tank commander was killed while trying to escape, and his body remained over the turret for days before it could be recovered.
- Carentan - Situated between UTAH Beach and OMAHA Beach, Carentan was crucial for linking the two American landing beaches. The battle for Carentan lasted from June 10th to June 15th. After five days of intense fighting, the 101st Airborne Paratroopers were relieved by elements of the 2nd Armored Division and the 29th Infantry Division, both arriving from the bloody OMAHA.
