Two Bridges for One - The Original & the Replica
Pegasus Bridge的点评
点评：If like us, you are exploring the WWII D-Day sites around Normandy, the Pegasus Bridge is a must-see.
Capturing the Pegasus Bridge was critical to the success of the D-Day landings but it was a bold and high-risk strategy. British gliders made rough landings in fields near the bridge in the dead of night. Somehow they managed to land alongside it, catching the German guards so unaware that they were able to take bridge within 10 minutes.
Once they had captured both Pegasus and the nearby Horsa Bridge, they radioed the code, ‘Ham and Jam’..
There are 2 Pegasus Bridges to see - the original which is preserved within the Pegasus Memorial Museum and the new, replica bridge which crosses the Canal today.
We started at the new bridge so as to see the actual site. However there was more to see here than we expected so allow a little extra time.
A large information/photo panel beside the bridge has details of the attack in both English and French and the house on the corner (Cafe Gondree) was the first house liberated by the Allies and is still owned by the same family. It has a huge collection of memorabilia.
Don’t overlook the small park beside the bridge. A statue of Major John Howard (who led the attack) marks a small path that takes you past the gliders’ landing sites. Three stone pillars mark where each of the three gliders touched down. We spent some time here just marvelling at how the gliders managed to land so close to their target. In the middle of the night, without any light or modern navigational tools, they landed just 40 metres from the bridge. It was an eye-opener and brought home the danger as well as the enormous skill and bravery of these men.
Next we walked down to the museum. Entry is 9 € and well worth it as the museum is excellent. The bridge is located outside, in the museum grounds, and you are able to walk onto it (although not right across). Bullet holes and battle scars are still visible. Next to it, is a life-sized replica Horsa glider
For more information on the museum, there’s a separate TA listing.

翻译：如果您像我们一样，正在诺曼底周围探索二战诺曼底登陆遗址，那么飞马桥是必看景点。
占领飞马桥对于诺曼底登陆的成功至关重要，但这是一个大胆而高风险的策略。深夜，英国滑翔机在桥附近的田野中粗暴着陆。不知何故，他们设法降落在桥边，让德国警卫措手不及，在 10 分钟内就占领了桥梁。
占领飞马桥和附近的霍萨桥后，他们用无线电发送了代号“Ham and Jam”。
有两座飞马桥可供参观 - 原桥保存在飞马纪念博物馆内，而新桥是横跨运河的复制桥。
我们从新桥开始，以便看到实际遗址。但是，这里可看的东西比我们预期的要多，所以请留出一点额外的时间。
桥边有一块大型信息/照片面板，上面用英语和法语详细介绍了这次袭击，街角的房子（Cafe Gondree）是盟军解放的第一座房子，至今仍归同一个家族所有。它收藏了大量的纪念品。
不要忽视桥边的小公园。约翰·霍华德少校（领导了这次袭击）的雕像标志着一条小路，这条小路会带你经过滑翔机的着陆点。三根石柱标记着三架滑翔机着陆的位置。我们在这里花了一些时间，惊叹滑翔机是如何降落在离目标如此近的地方的。在半夜，没有任何灯光或现代导航工具，他们降落在距离桥梁仅 40 米的地方。这让人大开眼界，让我们意识到危险以及这些人的非凡技能和勇气。
接下来我们走到博物馆。门票是 9 欧元，非常值得，因为博物馆很棒。这座桥位于博物馆外面，你可以走上去（虽然不能直接穿过）。弹孔和战争留下的伤痕仍然清晰可见。旁边是一架真人大小的 Horsa 滑翔机复制品
