The Reports section is for detailed accounts or miscellaneous information, connected with any aspect of the 6th Airborne's activity in Normandy, that, by their in-depth nature, cannot easily be accommodated on any other part of the site. Some of these reports I shall compile myself, but contributions from external sources are most welcome. Send me an email if you wish to contribute - pegasusarchive@googlemail.com.
