This Battle Set allows you to recreate one of the most famous actions of the Normandy Landings.
On the night of June 5-6, 1944, troops from the 6th British Parachute Division were brought in AS.51 Horsa gliders near the bridge over the Orne River near Ouistreham to take control of it. This bridge, codenamed “Pegasus,” was a vital location for securing the eastern flank of the landing zones and preventing the Germans from bringing in reinforcements. Thanks to the element of surprise, the British quickly captured the bridge. Even today, Pegasus Bridge remains one of the major and unmissable attractions on the Normandy D-Day landing sites tour.
