Pegasus Memorial Museum (Pegasus Bridge)

During the D-Day landings in Normandy, Allied troops crossed the Caen Canal over a bridge that was later renamed Pegasus Bridge to honor the British Parachute Regiment. Today, this historic site is part of the Pegasus Memorial Museum, located in Caen, France. The museum houses a collection of Second World War artifacts and personal items belonging to the soldiers who fought there. Visitors can explore the exhibits, which provide a tangible connection to the events and individuals involved in the liberation of occupied France. The bridge itself stands as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of those who crossed it.
