D Day 75th Anniversary

On the night between 5th and 6th June 1944, during the early stages of the Operation Overlord the 6th British Airborne Division received the goal to capture and control the movable bridge that crossed the Orne River near the city of Ouistreham in Normandy.

The control of the bridge, renamed in code “Pegasus” was a key point to make secure the eastern flank of the operational scenario and to prevent German armour troops counterattack that could reach the Allied landing area at Sword beach. The British paratroopers, in Horsa gliders, landed near the bridge and, thanks to a rapid and effective action, defeated the German troops that defended the bridge. Even today the Pegasus Bridge is a point of reference for all those who visit the most significant places of “Overlord”.

Review of Italeri Pegasus Bridge Airborne Assault Battle Set

The contents of this very heavy and densely packed box are extremely impressive. The various injection molded components (an Opel Blitz truck, a Kubelwagen, a set of three German guns, a number of field accessories and an assortment of German infantry and British paratrooper figures) are of the usual high standard expected of Italeri. The more unusual element of this array is the model of the actual Benouville or Pegasus Bridge over the Caen Canal. It comprises six 10" x 17" sheets of Medium-density fibreboard (MDF) with more than 100 finely laser-cut pieces. The instructions for both the Italeri pieces and the bridge are comprehensive and nicely detailed. The whole package is very highly recommended.
