  • Summary

  • Operation Fustian is one of the most ambitious and chaotic airborne operations of the Second World War. Join us as we explore the daring night assault by the 1st Parachute Brigade and No. 3 Commando, tasked with capturing the strategic Primosole and Malati Bridges in Sicily during the Allied invasion of July 1943.


    Discover how glider-borne artillery, elite paratroopers, and commandos battled exhaustion, confusion, and fierce German resistance to keep the road to Catania open. We cover the meticulous planning, the dramatic setbacks, and the heroic resilience that defined this pivotal operation in the Mediterranean theatre.
