[talking about the discovery that the Germans had booby-trapped the field where the Pegasus Bridge gliders were due to land]Dan Snow - Presenter: Just days before, photo interpreters at Medmenham had discovered the Germans were preparing for an airborne attack. These photos show the Germans were digging a huge number of holes, right where the gliders were planning to land. Those holes were designed to have wooden stakes put in them, which would prove catastrophic for an airborne landing. Each stake would be connected to an intricate network of explosive charges; if a glider hit one, the entire field would detonate, killing everybody on board.Jim Wallwork - Glider Pilot Regiment: I remember saying "that's not playing the game at all - just like the Germans not to play fair - but we'll have to show they can't put us off with a few holes". That's how daft you are at that age, I suppose.
