On the night between 5th and 6th June 1944, during the early stages of
the Operation Overlord the 6th British Airborne Division received the
goal to capture and control the movable bridge that crossed the Orne
River near the city of Ouistreham in Normandy. The control of the
bridge, renamed in code "Pegasus" was a key point to make secure the
eastern flank of the operational scenario and to prevent German armour
troops counterattack that could reach the Allied landing area at Sword
beach. The British paratroopers, in Horsa gliders, landed near the
bridge and, thanks to a rapid and effective action, defeated the German
troops that defended the bridge. Even today the Pegasus Bridge is a
point of reference for all those who visit the most significant places of "Overlord”
