Juno Beach - The Canadians On D-Day

On D-Day, June 6, 1944, “Operation Overlord”, the long-awaited invasion of ****-occupied Europe, began with Allied armies from the U.S., Britain and Canada landing on the coast of Normandy. On D-Day, the 3rd Troops of the Queen's Own Rifles, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, land at Bernieres-sur-Mer, Juno Beach, on D-Day. From a silent film shot by camerman Sergeant Bill Grant.Canadian Infantry Division landed on Juno Beach. The Canadian assault troops stormed ashore in the face of fierce opposition from German strongholds and mined beach obstacles. The soldiers raced across the wide-open beaches swept with machine gun fire, and stormed the gun positions. In fierce hand-to-hand fighting, they fought their way into the towns of Bernières, Courseulles and St. Aubin and then advanced inland, securing a critical bridgehead for the allied invasion. The victory was a turning point in World War II and led to the liberation of Europe and the defeat of **** Germany.
