'It was looking out of the Dakota and seeing a white line that was the surf breaking on the Normandy coast. At that moment we were given the order to jump.'

Fred Glover
'It was the way we responded when the glider crashed and were immediately confronted by a German patrol. What struck me was that we weren't affected by the crash but immediately sprung into action just like we had been trained to do.'

Eddie Wallace
'One of the things I do recall when landing is all the dead bodies that were floating around us. One or two of the lads were sick when they saw that.'
