Remembering D -Day
On 1) -Day, Canada landed 14,000
troops of the 3rd Canadian Infantry
Division on Juno Beach. I)-Uay for Can-
ada also involved the Royal Canadian
Air Force which bombed and attacked
key enemy targets, while the Royal
Canadian Navy contributed 109 vessels
and 10,000 sailors to the massive
armada of 7,000 Allied vessels. On
1) -Day, Canada's assault troops landed
011 Juno Beach and stormed ashore in
the face of fierce opposition from Ger-
man strongholds and mined beach
obstacles. 'Ihe 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
Bernikres, Courseulles and St. Aubin
and then advanced inland, securing a
critical bridgehead for the allied inva-
sion. 'Ihe victory was a turning point in
World War 11 and led to the liberation of
Europe and the defeat of Nazi
Germany.
Fourteen thousand young Canadians
stormed Juno Beach on D -Day. Their
courage, determination and self-sacri-
fice were the immediate reasons for the
success in those critical hours. The fight-
ing they endured was fierce and fright-
ening. The price they paid was high - the
battles for the beachhead cost 340 Cana-
dian lives and another 574 wounded.
John Keegan, eminent British historian
who wrote Six Armies in Normandy,
stated the following concerning the
Canadian 3rd Division on D -Day: "At
the end of the day, its forward elements
stood deeper into France than those of
any other division. The opposition the
Canadians faced was stronger than that
of any other beach save Omaha. That
was an accomplishment in which the
whole nation could take considerable
pride"
