EP26 - The Real Story of Operation Pegasus w/Jo Hook & Edwin Popken
Manage episode 463854544 series 3610028
Just a cracking episode. Two hours of all things Operation Pegasus (and a bunch of stuff that isn't!)...just a tour-de-force...everything you ever wanted to know about the rescue of the Red Devils that was featured in Band of Brothers Episode 5 "Crossroads," all in one place.
It was more complex than shown in the miniseries. So many moving pieces, and so many times it could have gone pear-shaped. But through dedication and perseverance, the Allies made it work. This episode looks at this amazing rescue from every possible angle and goes over the roles of all the key participants right up to, and through the rescue and its aftermath.
