Anyone out there have the story of the battle for Pont L'Eveque. I have the gunner story but am trying to match it to the operations conducted by the paras and commandos. Its an interesting if overlooked part of the battle for Normandy.
13 - Lucky For Some: The History of the 13th (Lancashire) Parachute Battalion has a chapter dedicated to the battle.
I thought that we had a previous question regarding this subject, but could not find it when searching. Here is a Wiki Link, which although is not always perfect it helps Point in the right direction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clearing_the_Channel_Coast It was apparently a series of Operations that became known collectively as Operation Paddle.
