⚔️ D-Day: Juno Beach landings,
6 June 1944

On 6 June 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division stormed ashore at Juno Beach, facing some of the strongest German defences in Normandy. Their task was to force a landing on the narrow strip of beach between Courseulles, Bernières, and Saint-Aubin, and then drive inland to cut the Caen–Bayeux road before linking up with the British lodgements at Gold Beach to the west and Sword Beach to the east
