This Picture is a good aerial view of the area NorthWest of Carentan.
You can clearly see Dead Man's Corner, Peaple Heart Lane, The Farmhouse and Comb's position

THE CARENTAN CAUSEWAY, looking south toward Carentan, was the scene of the 502d Parachute Infantry's action of 10-11 June. The network of canals and drainage ditches along the lower Douve is clearly visible, and, with the surrounding fields flooded, the attack was channelized down the narrow causeway road.


SCENE OF THE CAUSEWAY FIGHT. This air view of the St. Côme-du-Mont--Carentan highway and the farmhouse area affords an excellent idea of the terrain in which the 502d Parachute Infantry broke German resistance north of Carentan. The fields on either side of the highway had been drained at the time this photo was taken.


THE LAST PHASE OF THE CAUSEWAY FIGHT resulted in the breaking of enemy resistance late on 11 June, when the Germans fell back from their positions, along the highway and cabbage patch on the left and the hedgerows and orchard beyond the farmhouse.
