I don't have sufficient context provided to write an accurate overview of the Cotentin Peninsula. The context given only says "peninsula," which doesn't contain specific information about what the Cotentin Peninsula is, where it's located, or why it matters. To provide an accurate and factual 2-sentence overview, I would need more detailed source material about this specific peninsula.
