Assault on Normandy: Pegasus Bridge DVD – Mike Peters , Tim Saunders

This DVD charts the slow development of British airborne forces and the directive given by Churchill in June 1940 to form both the Parachute Regiment and the glider air-landing brigades. We follow the plan to capture the two bridges over the canal and river between Caen and the sea from a germ of an idea through preparations for it’s delivery as one of the most successful small-unit actions of all time in the opening hours of D-Day.
