A few units of French commandoes parachuted in or landed on the beaches and held important points until larger forces arrived. Elements of the French resistance sabotaged railroads and German equipment to delay German reinforcements. A few commandos parachuted and 177 French led by Kieffer landed at "Sword" with the British troops.
