Americans Reach Cherbourg Coast In Deep Normandy Breakthrough
Allied forces led by the U S 9th Infantry Division pushed through the Cherbourg peninsula to seize the coast between Cape Carteret and St. Lo D Ourville. British and Canadian troops held four Nazi armored divisions on the eastern flank as the drive widened the breach, with 15,000 Germans captured in the 15 day breakout. The Cherbourg trap began on Britain’s Waterloo anniversary as fighting surged around Montebourg and Quineville with continued German counterattacks and heavy shelling along the peninsula.
