Short Tour JUNO BEACH n° 2: Bernières sur mer

The Canadian soldiers of the 8th Brigade, 3rd Infantry Division,  who landed in front of this house, occupied by German Forces on D Day, suffered severe casualties. But the assault went on, wave after wave, more soldiers and equipment, came ashore and fought their way across the village.

​

Civilians started getting out from their shelters to meet their liberators, but these ones had no time to lose : they had to reach their objectives inland as fast as possible, before the German reinforcements arrival.

​

With maps and pictures, I will  let you imagine what happened here on June 6 ,1944.
