Original Note:
Paratroopers did not capture Pegasus Bridge. In a surprise attack (not the often cited Operation Deadstick, which was a glider training exercise), six platoons from D Company, ‘Ox and Bucks’ Light Infantry, and Royal Engineers captured the bridge after a short skirmish. https://www.paradata.org.uk/unit/2nd-battalion-ox-and-bucks-light-infantry https://www.paradata.org.uk/article/pegasus-bridge
