Lest we forget , when you read about what they did , you can’t imagine the courage of every single one.
Having been to Pegasus Bridge a couple of times I am still amazed how three gliders could land with pinpoint accuracy in the dead of night and the encounter was over in less than 20mins. Brilliant!
History abounds! A great WWII site, a mission that tested the men involved beyond normal limits. This is a must for any D-Day trip.
