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.
