D-Day: The Tide Turns

5. Crash Landing


Listen Later

In the dead of night, airborne troops become the first Allied soldiers to set foot in France. Engineless gliders carrying men and equipment crash-land behind enemy lines. A paratrooper lands on a church steeple… yet somehow survives the battle. And, with Pegasus Bridge in the crosshairs, D-Day claims its first British casualty…

A Noiser production, written by Edward White.
