84 AK Korps Troops (mainly Schnelle Brigade and FJ rgt 6) hold Carentan bridges despite heavy air, naval and ground fire.
91th LWD: They hold the line from Azeville-Fresville-Orglandes-St Sauver-Crettenville.

Juno + Gold Area:

Sword:

716th ID: this poor quality division slowd allied advance at Gold, Juno and Sword quite succesfully but allied preasure is taking its toll on them.

Omaha Area:

352th ID: very extended: 914th Rgt holds along Korps Troops at Carentan area, 916th Rgt still holds some terrain at Omaha, they are fighting inland allied troops near Surrain-Bellefontaine.

The Paras:

21th PzD: Mainly at Caen area and hold againts British paras.

Overall : Despite raining fire from Naval and Air forces, Day 1 showed Omaha still holding, the rest beaches were breached as I presumed.
Caretan bridges could not be blown and Allied forces (4th ID and paras) seems to drive through Carentan rather than Montebourg.
21st PzD Recon elements pressed british paras a little, but only minor combats.
Not a bad day 1 for axis forces
