Wn06 Sallenelles is a small position on the east side of the river when the British airborne landed all around the area it held out for quite a long time until the Commandos started to clear the east shore and take all the defences along this coast. Most of the survivors penned up at Sallenelles gradually retreated and worked their way back to cross the Seine.
