Battle Zone Normandy: Juno Beach / Ken Ford

United Kingdom : Sutton Publishing Ltd., 2004

Hardback

The Juno beach landings on 6 June 1944 were just the start of Canadian 3rd Infantry Division's long struggle to Germany and victory. Famous Canadian formations with European antecedents, such as the Regiment de la Chaudiere and the Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, overcame chaos on the beaches and endured heavy casualties. Their determination and drive saw them progress further inland than troops from any of the other Allied beachheads.
In the coming days, the Canadians would face some of Hitler's toughest troops, including 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend, in a war of ideals where duty faced fanaticism.
