DEAD MAN’S CORNER

The house in which is established the museum is a historical place. It was the headquarters of the famous German paratroopers of the 6th Regiment. This building was the subject of a tug of war opposing the men of the 101st Airborne  Division to the fearsome “Green Devils”. Go back to 1944 as you visit this restored house as the exact state as when the Germans occupied it.
