bowling alley ?
Dead Man's "Corner" is 3 kms north of Carentan, on N13, at the intersection of D913 (to Ste. Marie du Mont). The name comes from an incident on June 7th when an American tank was destroyed and its crew incinerated at this intersection. It remained there for days with the dead commander sitting up in the turret. The GI's refered to it as " the corner where the dead man's in the tank." The Corner's name is still a local identification.
The highway heading toward Luxembourg City from this corner was called the "Bowling Alley". German guns on the bluff across the river had a free field of fire, and American vehicles drove fast and erratically on this strip.
