D-Day 75th Anniversary with Adrienne Arsenault

On June 6 1944, 14,000 Canadian assault troops stormed Juno Beach as part of the Allied invasion. They fought a battle which started the liberation of Europe. The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, reinforced by the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade, faced a barrage of fire power from German soldiers as they navigated a heavily mined beach. Victory on D-Day would come at a terrible cost. Canadians suffered the most casualties of any division in the British Army Group.
