The men of the British 6th Airborne that took the bridge now known as Pegasus are some of the least appreciated of the entire invasion. The only dramatization I've seen is in The Longest Day.
What a great movie that would make.

Agreed.
If I were in charge of anything, I’d make movies of every single important WWII battle, while we still have people alive who were participants.
One of the great tv shows that no one except me ever watches, is War Stories by Oliver North.
I highly recommend it.

Now wait, Obama is going to speak. Let me see how he takes credit for conquering Normandy. What a schmuck.
