It was a battle that was never meant to be. Two Robert’s, Ballard and Wolverton, each commanded a battalion in the 101st Airborne, and each was tasked with capturing bridges over the Douve River. But before the battalions could accomplish their missions, they’d have to clear the area around their drop zone of enemy troops. Les Droueries was located near the drop zone and the flooded grounds around it would become the scene of bitter fighting. In the first of a two-part series, Joe breaks down the drop of both battalions and the subsequent fighting in and around Les Droueries. Check in to hear all about it!
