After the fighting in Italy the
2nd Independent Parachute Brigade underwent
training at Salerno before receiving orders to
drop into southern France. On 15 August, the
Brigade dropped at dawn around the village of Le
Muy. They helped take this important position
astride the supply line to the German coastal
forces, making it possible for the landing and
rapid advance of the US Seventh Army. Having
taken all their objectives and linked up with the
ground forces, the Brigade returned to Italy on
26 August to prepare for their next operation in
Greece. |
