Pegasus Bridge

Pegasus Bridge is a historic World War II site in Normandy, France, marking the location where Allied forces launched a daring nighttime raid during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. The operation aimed to secure a crucial bridge over the Caen Canal, preventing German reinforcements from reaching the beaches. The assault involved airborne troops parachuting and gliders landing nearby, quickly capturing the bridge in a surprise attack. Today, Pegasus Bridge is preserved as a museum and memorial, symbolizing bravery and strategic innovation that contributed to the success of the Normandy invasion.
