At 0016hrs on 6 June 1944 a Horsa glider grounded to a halt a mere 60 yards from the Ome Canal bridge at Benouville in Normandy. A small group of British paratroopers burst from it and stormed the bridge within minutes. The Allied Liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe had begun. Within a few hours landing craft would swarm towards Ouistreham as British 3rd Division swept ashore at Sword Beach. The British 6th Airborne Division and the British landings on Sword Beach secured the vital left flank of the invasion.
