510006194 - Model kit,1:72 Battle-Set Pegasus Bridge

The stand model is a recreation of the "Pegasus" event. On the night of 5-6 June 1944, in the early stages of Operation Overlord, the 6th British Airborne Division was given the objective of capturing and controlling the movable bridge that crossed the Orne River near the town of Ouistreham in Normandy. Control of the bridge, renamed in code "Pegasus", was an important point in securing the eastern flank of the operational theatre and preventing counterattacks by German armour troops that might reach the Allied landing site at Sword Beach. The British paratroopers landed in Horsa gliders near the bridge and, thanks to a quick and effective action, defeated the German troops defending the bridge.
