Control of the bridge, codenamed "Pegasus", was a crucial point in securing the eastern flank of the operational scenario and preventing a counterattack by German armored troops that could reach the Allied landing site at Sword Beach.
The British paratroopers landed near the bridge in Horsa gliders and, thanks to a quick and effective action, defeated the German troops defending the bridge.
