Although I can't add to the Rangers-taking-POWs story, von Luck's own vivid account of June 6 1944 can be read in his highly-recommended book, 'Panzer Commander'.
A couple of choice quotes : -
'Gradually we were becoming filled with anger...The hours passed...At the command post, I paced up and down and clenched my fists at the indecision of the Supreme Command in the face of the obvious facts. If Rommel had been with us instead of in Germany, he would have disregarded all orders and taken action. So the tragedy took its course'
Nice to discuss a German cock-up, for a change !
