Descriptionof The Red Devils on D-Day

Drawing on years of research and eyewitness accounts, *Red Devils on D-Day* illuminates the pivotalalbeit often overlookedrole played by the British 6th Airborne Division during the opening hours of June 6, 1944. While famous operations such as the capture of Pegasus Bridge and the assault on the Merville Battery are widely known, Neil Barber reveals the broader and more complex missions executed by the airborne troops along the eastern flank of the Normandy landings. From securing the bridges over the Caen Canal and the River Orne to destroying crossings over the River Dives, paratroopers and engineers fought their way through the darkness and chaos of D-Day to delay German reinforcements and protect the Allied beachhead at "Sword." Through vivid accounts of courage and determination, Barber places center stage the experiences of those paratroopers, engineers, and support units whose actions contributed decisively to the success of Operation Overlord.
