    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.

    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.

    It was apparently a series of Operations that became known collectively as Operation Paddle.
