Most of the 1,627 prisoners taken by the 3rd Division on D-day were from the German's 242nd Infantry Division. The prisoners were described as " ... a conglomeration of eastern nationalities and a few German soldiers". The 242nd had two Armenian and one Azerbaijan battalions. These soldiers were captured and tagged at Yellow Beach in the Bay of Pampelonne.
