Juno Beach War, such a ruthless, violent, and excruciating event, and yet the flames of agony were once again lit due to the beginning of World War Two. June 6th, 1944 is commemorated as D-Day and the commencement of the Allied invasion of Normandy. On this day Canadians were most victorious due to their heroic efforts at Juno Beach through acquiring their given objectives and contributing largely to the successes which helped bring an end to World War Two. Canadians gained military recognition and were honored for their commitment. On D-Day, Canadians were assigned their own separate beach, code named “Juno”, along with 14,000 Canadians who took part in this battle. The Canadians persevered through …show more content…
The Juno Beach invasion caught the German troops by surprise as many of them thought it was a distraction as a larger attack were to take place somewhere else. Mark Zuehlke, an historian on the Canadian battles of World War Two states, “The Germans were caught unprepared as they thought the operation was merely a diversion…Their disorganized troops were not able to withstand the assault,” (Zuehlke, 394) Zeuhlke explains how unaware the German troops were of the attack and that even with the D-Day operation in place, the German army thought that this was a diversion. The Canadian surprise attack caught the troops off guard which allowed the Canadian army to infiltrate deeper into France. As they did this they weakened the German forces lowering their morale which caused various German Squadrons to flee or not report to their stations. This caused many areas, which were previously held by Germany, to be taken over by the allies which gave them more land to fight on. Also, as the Canadians reached the central point of France they secured a critical bridgehead which gave the allied forces a massive advantage. After the Canadians had setup a bridgehead Robert Fowler, a Canadian military historian, states, “With the bridgehead firmly secured, the armies were to move on to liberate France and the neighboring countries. Germany, attacked on three separate fronts, in Northwest Europe, in Russia, and in the Mediterranean, would soon be exhausted and defeated.”(Fowler, 94) The Juno Beach and Normandy invasion were all a startup of a larger plan which were to be executed over a period of time. Just as Adolf Hitler had taken miniscule steps in order to exploit the Treaty of Versailles, the allies were taking their steps in order to defeat Germany and bring an end to World War Two and this was all started with the Canadians help of invading Juno Beach.
