Overview
Juno Beach was a key part of Hitler's vaunted Atlantic Wall. The attack on it was led by the 3rd Canadian Division, supported by the specialist assault tanks of the 79th Armoured Division. However, despite careful planning and rehearsal, poor D Day weather led to a piecemeal landing and heroic individual battles in the streats of the seaside towns.Synopsis
Acting as a tour guide to the events at Juno Beach on D Day, Saunders explains the Canadian contribution to the breaking of Hitler's Atlantic Wall. His narrative of the Canadians' landing, through bad weather and fierce fighting, is followed by several pages of tourist information for those who want to visit the Normandy battlefields. Illustrated with many b&w photos and maps. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
