Carentan has a population somewhat over 6,000 and is now administratively organized as a commune in the Manche department. The town was a strategic early goal of the World War II landings as capturing the town was necessary to link the lodgements at Utah and Omaha beaches which were divided by the Douve River estuary (Nearby fields were flooded by the Germans up to the town's outskirts).
