Trivia: That scene of her (see pic @ post 55) and the hay wagon crossing the bridge was filmed on what became known as the Pegasus Bridge, that was taken by Major John Howard’s glider infantry company that is shown later in the film. The movie filmed Howard’s company’s action on the actual bridge. It was replaced in 1994 and is on display on the east bank of the river.
