PEGASUS BRIDGE
BENOUVILLE, June 6, 1944, FRANCE
History: Operation "Overlord" called for the British 2nd Army to
land upon the beaches of Normandy north of Caen. As part of the
massive assault, the entire British 6th Airborne Division was to
land by glider and parachute behind German lines before the
invasion forces hit the beaches, forming a lodgement between the
Caen Canal and the River Dives to defend the left flank. Of
critical importance were two bridges that crossed the Orne and
the canal between Benouville and Ranville. To take these, a
special group drawn from the 6th Air-Landing Brigade was
organized. In a coup-de-main, Major John Howard and a reinforced
company of the 2nd Oxford & Bucks would come down near the Caen
Canal bridge at Benouville, there to seize and hold it until
relieved by commandos. At 0015 hours, the tow planes released
the gliders, and the "Red Devils" began the liberation of Western Europe.
