HOLD THE BRIDGE MAGNESITE EARRINGS

The magic words. Operation Deadstick was an insane commando mission to break the allies out of the beaches at Normandy. The idea was that two commando teams would parachute and glide behind enemy lines under the cover of darkness to start a firefight and sow confusion within the German ranks. They would only have the munitions they could parachute in and handguns ain't much against panzer tanks. By drawing the enemy's attention to these small teams, once the code came across to the Allies, then hopefully the Allies tanks would take advantage of the confusion and route the panzer divisions out of that territory. There were a few short phrases that would indicate the operation's success or failure. "Ham" meant that the Caen Canal Bridge was captured and remained intact. "Jam" indicated the same for the Orne River Bridge Ham and jam, baby! We have the bridges, bring in the reinforcements. If you are ever in a tight spot, don't forget to link up with your Allies.
