Glider Landings in the Cudemain Operation

Of the 100 and forty five gliders that landed, all landed safely on the correct landing zones. Counting anything over two miles away or missing as being a failure, approximately 88 % of the total glider landings were successful. The arrival of the third division not only secured the right flank from counter attack west of the canal, but also secured for us a supply line. We felt we could face the morrow with confidence. Although the morrow would certainly bring heavier german attacks, we would be in so much better state to deal with them.
