[10] As had been the problem with previous night drops, such as Normandy, the pathfinders were misdropped when the planes carrying them got lost. [15] Further delays were encountered when these men had to find each other on the ground, work their way through a heavily wooded area near the town of Le Muy, and fight off German soldiers in the process.
