TAKING PEGASUS BRIDGE BY SURPRISE JUNE 5 1944i |
||
| The allies landed on the coasts of France, the days of the 'Third Reich' were counted ! | ||
 |
||
| It all started at june 6, 1944. The allies were ready and determined to kick the Germans out of the occupied countries | ||
 |
||
| A very, very important and vital bridge had to be taken by the Allies in the night of june 5, preceeding on the invasion in France. | ||
 |
||
| Now, 70 yeras later a memorial flight took place over the Pegasus Bridge, with a Spitfire and a Typhoon in D-Day colors | ||
 |
||
| Not so many veterans of that day and place are still alive, but some travelled to the bridge that changed the situation in Europe | ||
 |
||
| By the time, many Typhoons joined the actions, but since there was no flying example the Spitfire took the 'honneurs' . | ||
 |
||
| The black-white stripes were to make all allied planes recognizable, and were paited on all planes the night before, sometimes even with brooms | ||
 |
||
| The Spitfire, one of the four planes 'that won the war' as Sir Winston Churchill stated. | ||
 |
||
| The old veterans had a day of many thoughts to old friens that died these days. They are the lucky ones to remember | ||

||
| The Typhoon (Eurofighter) and the 'Spit' came from Waddington in the UK ..... | ||
 |
||
| .... and both pilots also concidered the participation as a great honour ! | ||
 |
||
| An example of the Typhoon from those days | ||

||
| The Typhoon is our 'Guardian' now in many countries, a formidable plane and very capable. | ||
 |
||
| These men that landed on the beaches were to use pegasus Bridge later on. First they had to fight their corridors, it took so many lives..... | ||
 |
||
| The Germans could not hold. A really perfect film has been made, called 'The Longuest Day', Hans Christian Blech had a wonderful role | ||
|
||
| The bridge was taken, and could be used by the allies. | ||
 |
||
| At this picture you even see the gliders that were used to approach unheard and by surprise | ||
 |
||
| A fragment fron the fil 'The Longuest Day', where the Germans made several tactical mistakes. | ||
 |
||
| This film should be shown at all schools, to know what happened in that time, which is by the way only a very small part. | ||
 |

|
||
| Here ends our small Pegasus story, hope you liked it anyway. | ||
