The story of the Easy Company assault on Brecourt Manor is well known due to the popular book and HBO series, Band of Brothers. But Brecourt was not the only gun battery that was assaulted on D-Day. Nearby was another German battery of 4 105mm guns at Holdy Battery. In this episode, we're exploring this lesser known battery that played a huge role on D-Day in the 101st Airborne drop zone around St. Marie du Mont.
