Talk:Battle of Carentan

Casualties
It's incredibly suspicious that every American battle on Wikipedia somehow has the Americans losing less men. In this case half. I find it very difficult to believe given their are rarely any citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A0A:EF40:88:4A01:35D4:1772:25AD:73EC (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Mistake
I wrote this artical, well started it and, its been there almost a year, the Work cited i haven got around to putting it on yet and the one source that is there is incirect, the author is correct and the page number i think is corect, if it it 101 but the book was "Americans at normandy, the summer of 1944 the american war from the beaches to falise" I didnt spell it right but i'll fix it on the page evenualy, but I dont know how to edit the work cited.

So one-a you fellas give me a hand, i'l post the work cited page from my aper on the main artical and one of you Wiki-experts can do your magic. Oki doke

Confusion
"Cole was supposed to begin the attack at 12:00 am on June 10. But bridge number two had been destroyed and the engineers had been pinned down by 88 mm fire. Lieutenant Gueldaff’s patrol paddled across the Douve river, and went down the causeway in single file. At bridge number four they found a Belgian Gate and pried it open, where they could get through one by one. They then came under heavy fire. Gehaudf sent two runners with a message to Cole, 'but the runners passed on the wrong message'. They told Cole not to go forward because the opposition was too heavy. At the same time Cole got word from battalion that he was to postpone the attack."

Lieutenant Gueldaff is not mentioned within the article, let alone his patrol or what regiment or company he is part of. This will be confusing to readers because it's written as if he has already been introduced. --Rhykin 03:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
