Americans Hold Key Cherbourg Road Amid Fierce Fighting
American troops in northern France battled German forces for control of the lateral road through the Cherbourg peninsula. Nazi counter-attacks failed to force a retreat as heavy fighting raged along the invasion front with intense bombardment of Caen. Allied ships and naval gunfire supported ground operations while efforts to reinforce the beachhead continued. A New Brighton school board elected Nancy Robinson as the new kindergarten teacher.
