My dad was badly wounded defending the Bridge he was a PARA he was blown up by a mortar and had a chunk out of his elbow which meant for the rest of his life he could not fully extend his arm he also had a large chunk blown out of his calf. He had nearly a full war pension because of his injuries but when trying to get work later he used to have friends attended the medicals for him. Dads picture is on the wall of the cafe he returned once and met the daughter he met as a child at the time.

It bothers me that I no longer know any veterans of either World War, I used to know so many growing up; I miss listening to the unimaginable first hand accounts of their war and survival.
@mlose50
Never ceases to amaze me how, not withstanding the professionalism and shear bravery, was so much left to luck. Truly wonderful analysis.
@kenowens9021
Richard Todd, the actor who lead the assault in "The Longest Day" movie, actually participated in the real assault on that bridge.
@dondouglass6415
This mission never ceases to amaze me... The horsa pilots did such an amazing spectacular job and the actual assault troops did their jobs without thought and again achieved such a spectacular result.. It's stuff of legend's ..
@debrareplogle651
It sad that they are gone, such brave men, who were mostly just boys, like my daddy and uncles. I miss them..

This is the Best condensed documentary of Pegasus Bridge I ever seen. Great narrator voice, ariel views, and voices of veterans was excellent.
@JakeTheBear1
All the effort to show the aerial visualization is epic! Amazing vid!

My dad was in the 12th Para (Yorkshire). He had just turned 18 when he jumped into Normandy in the early hours of 6 June. He passed away in 2018 just before his 92nd birthday❤ He often mentioned Breville and how important that was.

My mate went in on a glider and fought with the commandos . What a brave man he was ,he took out a pillbox on his own and I am so proud of him and his memory

The taking of Pegasus Bridge was one of the few airborne assaults that went according to plan.
