BBC Mein Herr! Der Amis* have brought up panzers! Matthew Ridgway James Gavin & The Bridge at La Fière Then block the bridge and use Panzerfausts! If we lose this bridge, WE LOSE THE BEACH! German slur for Americans Matthew, the Germans set a truck as a roadblock Our men are pinned down! James, lead the boys across the bridge. I'll deal with the truck We take this bridge, we take Utah Beach. Jumping on the night of D-Day, the 82nd "All American" Airborne Division had the mission of capturing the town of Sainte-Mère-Église to the west of Utah Beach. Ridgway found himself alone in a pitch-dark field. Ten miles away, his second-in-command, James Gavin, took charge of most of the fighting for the next twenty-four hours. PTZ AR Gavin landed some two miles short of his intended drop zone and immediately began rounding up scattered paratroopers. a crucial fight erupted at the La Frière causeway and bridge. one of the few routes that German forces to the west of Sainte-Mère-Église could use to assault Utah Beach. enemy mortar and artillery fire were intense. the bridge and causeway beyond were littered with dead and dying Americans. Gavin joined them on the causeway, encouraging faltering men to go forward with a calm, "Son, you can do it." while Ridgway started to tie a cable to the truck still blocking the bridge, so it could be pulled aside and allow the Shermans to advance. the paratroops and glidermen pushed the Germans back Moving across the causeway and dislodging the Germans to its west finally allowed forces from Utah Beach to move further into the Cotentin Peninsula.
