‘Operation Deadstick’ – The Capture of the Orne River & canal bridges which would be crucial to defend the left flank of the whole long awaited second front and was vital not only for the invasion itself but also to the Allied Airborne operation. The leading assault was to be carried out by the men of D Company of the Oxs & Bucks Light Infantry commanded by Major John Howard which was part of the 6th Airborne Division. Landing three of his six gilders within a few dozen yards of the actual canal bridge itself Howard succeed in a surprise attack that defied all logic and physics .
Pegasus Bridge is a history lesson about bravery and courage – about what young men did so that people of today could live in freedom.
