Operation Tonga was the codename given to the airborne operation undertaken by the British 6th Airborne Division between 5 June and 7 June 1944 as a part of Operation Overlord and the D-Day landing during World War II.
The paratroopers and Glider-borne airborne troops of the division, commanded by Major General Richard Nelson Gale, landed on the eastern flank of the invasion area, near to the city of Caen, tasked with a number of objectives.
The division was to capture two strategically important bridges over the Caen Canal and Orne River which were to be used by Allied ground forces to advance once the seaborne landings had taken place, destroy several other bridges to deny their use to the Germans and secure several important villages.
The division was also assigned the task of assaulting and destroying the Merville Gun Battery, an artillery battery that Allied intelligence believed housed a number of heavy artillery pieces, which could bombard the nearest invasion beach (codenamed Sword ) and possibly inflict heavy casualties on the Allied troops landing on it.
It is the night of the 5th of June, a few hours before the big Sea Landing begins. The Pathfinders will be preceded by parachuting in order to correctly mark the field where the Gliders will land.
