Answer:

A. The specific missions of the two airborne divisions were to block approaches into the vicinity of the amphibious landing at Utah Beach, to capture causeway exits off the beaches, and to establish crossings over the Douve River at Carentan to assist the U.S. V Corps in merging the two U.S. beachheads.

B. The biggest anxiety for the airborne commanders was in linking up with the widely scattered forces west of the Merderet. Many continued to roam and fight behind enemy lines for up to 5 days.

C. They began by fortifying the Atlantic Wall in Normandy with more machine gun bunkers, millions of beachfront landmines, and by flooding inland marshes to trap Allied paratroopers. Their strategic preparations would ultimately help the Nazis inflict terrible Allied casualties on D-Day

The Roman legacy is a mark strongly present in Western cultures today, mainly in the legal and linguistic areas.
