Primosole Bridge

Operation Fustian, 13-16 July 1943.
The operation encounters multiple obstacles and strong opposition from the Axis forces. Many planes carrying paratroopers from 
North Africa were shot down or damaged and had to turn around because of both friendly and hostile fire. As a result of the 
pilots' avoidance maneuvers, the parachutists were dropped by being dispersed and only the equivalent of two troop companies 
were dropped at the correct locations. Despite this, and the defense by the German and Italian forces, the British paratroopers 
manage to seize the bridge. Resistant to all enemy counterattacks, they hold it until dark.
The relief force (50th Infantry Division) also has problems reaching the parachute brigade and is 1.6 km away when it stopped 
for the night. Parachute Brigade Commander Gerald Lathbury abandons control of the bridge due to increasing casualties and lack 
of logistics. The next day, British units join forces and the 9th Battalion, the Durham Light Infantry with the support of 
armored vehicles attempt to retake the bridge. It was finally resumed only three days after the start of the operation, when 
another battalion of the Durham Light Infantry led by the paratroopers established a bridgehead on the north bank of the river.
