Coming up in Episode 20 on the WW2 Nation Podcast, it is Part Two of Talking the Day The Devils Dropped In with historian Neil Barber and in which we will be discussing the actions by those men of the 7th Parachute Battalion and OBLI in holding the two bridges (Horsa & Pegasus) over the River Orne and Caen Canal. We will also be chatting about commemoration beyond the 75th Anniversary as well as a few of the brave actions that took place around the bridges in those first 24 hours, including one Neil believes should have seen a Victoria Cross given for.
