This is great! As a Canadian, I thank you! One small tip: it's not "Redge-ee-na" but "Redge-eye-na." That's how we say Regina.

We need more coverage of other beaches besides Omaha. This video is a good start.

Very good video depicting Canada and her finest soldiers. May those who fought and died on the beaches and the fields of Normandy rest in peace. 🍁🇨🇦

As an American, I am honored and humbled that so many Canadians sacrificed on everyone's behalf.
Thank you for our freedom, gentlemen.
Rest in peace. 🇨🇦👊

Thank you for making sure everyone is remembered today.

You have made a great documentary. When the Normandy landings are mentioned everyone talks about the American zones. I thinks that Juno Beach is probably the least known of them all.

Major Bray didn't just decide to drive through a minefield for no reason, they were stalled at the minefield waiting for AVREs and flail tanks while the infantry was out of support range. He decided to risk the minefield to backup the infantry and led the advance with his own tank. Major Bray was awarded the distinguished service order for his dedication to the soldiers' advance.

Canada is pleased you chose to showcase this.

My Grandfather, with the North Shore Regiment, landed with the first wave on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944 at H-Hour. The only thing he mentioned about the war was that it was the worst day of his life. He fought until the war ended and would never talk about his experiences.

This was a Great video, thank you! It's not appreciated how hard the Canadians had it on D-day and how successful they were despite that.

[kimchipig]

My grandfather landed on Juno Beach. He was killed in December of 1944.

Great video (aside from a few pronunciation challenges). As another amateur historian posted in his video about Juno Beach, in terms of ratio - casualties measured against the total of attacking forces, Juno had a higher casualty rate than Omaha. Also, 3rd Canadian Div penetrated further inland than and was the only attacking force to seize their immediate DDay objectives.

My grandfather and great-uncle were with the 18th Field Company RCE. They landed in Mike sector west of Courseulles. They were Peter and David Hebblethwaite.

[robwhitehead]

My dad was in the Queens Own Riffles. Thanks for this.

[tubaman]

It is barely mentioned but my Dad's unit 48 RM Commando, a British unit landed on Juno, Nan Red sector on D Day and suffered many casualties. My Dad was one of them. This unit also took part in Operation Infatuate with the Canadian army in November 1944. It was an allied effort and the Canadians were part of Monty's 21st Army Group.

Great video as always. Sorry to see that you aren't getting the recognition you deserve
