Band Of — Brothers Sites

A pilgrimage to the Band of Brothers sites is not about spectacle. It is about presence.

South of Utah Beach, the road into Carentan still passes Dead Man’s Corner —named for the destroyed American tank destroyer and its dead crew, which long served as a landmark. The building that housed the German command post now is a museum (the Musée du Débarquement de Carentan ). Inside, you’ll see mannequins in M42 jump suits, personal letters, and the kind of small, heartbreaking artifacts—a rosary, a crushed cigarette case—that remind you these were boys, not just soldiers. band of brothers sites
