Normandy and the D-Day Beaches

Pegasus Bridge, site of the first casualties on D-Day. It is no longer in use but has been reassembled near the original site and restored as a memorial. The British squadron landed silently in three 30-man gliders and took the Nazis by surprise, capturing and holding this critical bridge. After the war It was renamed “Pegasus” because that was the insignia on their uniforms. The flags of every nation that participated in the D-Day invasion are flown.
