  • "On June 6th, 1944, a combined force of American, British and Canadian troops landed on the beaches of Normandy. The Allied invasion of occupied France was a turning point in the war against Hitler's Germany. From a tactical view, Canada's role was limited; strategically, it was pivotal. Canada's infantry and armoured regiments were thrown against Germany's elite troops and tank divisions. The price they paid was enormous. During that fateful summer, men untrained for combat were sent to battle, and men unfit for command were left in charge. At the front, Canada's best reporters--sworn into the army for reasons of security--were prevented from telling the true story."
