Noiser
5. Crash Landing
Play Episode
In the dead of night, airborne troops become the first Allied soldiers to set foot in France. Engineless gliders carrying men and equipment crash-land behind enemy lines. A paratrooper lands on a church steeple… yet somehow survives the battle. And, with Pegasus Bridge in the crosshairs, D-Day claims its first British casualty…
