Dead Mans Corner. The advancing American units came along the road to the right, from St Marie Du Mont an Utah Beach. However, they oun well defended German Paratroopers here which used this house as an aid station. An American tank was knocked out on the corner of the road, its commander hanging out of the turret. It was a while before he was removed, thus 'Dead Mans Corner'.
