The Battle For Pegasus Bridge: How 181 Men Opened The Way For D-Day
On D-Day, June 6th, 1944, a small force of British light infantry launched Operation Deadstick, a daring glider assault to seize two crucial bridges in Normandy. Their mission: capture and hold the Orne River and Caen Canal bridges, preventing German Panzer divisions from reaching the invasion beaches. This is the incredible, untold story of the 181 men who faced overwhelming odds, repelled fierce German counterattacks, and secured Pegasus Bridge, a pivotal objective that proved essential to the success of the entire D-Day operation.
