About the Project
Operation Deadstick was a crucial British airborne operation executed in the opening minutes of D-Day (6 June 1944) during World War II. Led by Major John Howard, the precision mission successfully captured two vital road bridges over the Caen Canal and the Orne River in Normandy, France. This rapid, surprise coup de main assault was the very first Allied land action of the Normandy landings, taking place a full six hours before troops hit the invasion beaches.
