On June 6, 2019 it will mark the 75th year anniversary of D-Day. In 1944 on this day, Canadian Troops landed on the Beach at Normandy. 14,000 brave soldiers from Canada, would embark on a battle that would eventually achieve the liberation of Europe. The 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, reinforced by the 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade Stormed against the mighty forces of the German army. They worked hard to push

past barricades and mines in order to secure (Juno) beach, on the outskirts of Bernières.

On D-Day 715 soldiers were wounded in battle and another 359 of them lost their lives. There was ultimately, more than 10,000 casualties of war on D-Day sustained by the Allied forces in total.

Canadian veterans all across the country will take part in honouring all Allied forces who fought during the Battle of Normandy during the 11 week offensive. We all will remember

One of the most memorable battles of the entire war, was the battles fought on D-Day in Normandy, France. Canadian service members would go on to play a crucial role in the war efforts, in order for the Allies to gain success. They helped open the way into Germany from the West. The success they got would come with a terrible price to pay, as Canada would suffer many casualties at a greater

During the Second World War, Canadians worked hard to do their part in helping the Allied Forces Gain victory over the Germans.

At that time Germany has succeeded in taking over most of Western Europe, by the springtime in 1940. This was in just the first few months at the beginning of World War Two. The only thing that divided the German forces from reaching Great Britain, was a slim part of the sea called the English Channel. But the British managed to hold out. Not far away, countries

that the Germans took over on the continent suffered greatly at the hand of their enemies during the following years to come. Heavy casualties were sustained due to the allied invasion at Dieppe on the French coast, which took place in August of 1942. The Canadian troops seemed to be hit the worst by this battle.

The allies used the term D-Day to refer to the day the invading attack was to begin. The exact date that they were to deploy, was not always known for sure. The term was used in many planning operations throughout the war. The term is now generally used for referring to the battle of the Allied invasion on June 6th, 1944 of Normandy.

Canada aided the allies in many hard battles during world war two, but the most well known contribution was during the battle of Normandy. Out of all the conflicts that Canada would take part in, their most important role that they played there would be instrumental in eventually winning the war overall.

CANADA’S ROLE IN D-DAY

the 50,000 brave soldiers who died during that time. Some Veterans from the second world war will also be in Normandy, as well as Britain to take part in ceremonies that will be held there and be honoured.

On June 6th, 2019 will be a day of honouring the memories of these brave soldiers, which marks the 75th Anniversary of these events. Make sure to take the time on this day, to remember their sacrifice.

the next year.

The American launched an amphibious invasion with the likes and size that had never been seen before. It was led by Supreme Commander General Dwight Eisenhower. The code-name

for this operation was called “Operation Overlord”

Taking control of the battle of the Atlantic, as the Allies worked their way through Italy during the Battle of Ortona. At this time the Soviets were fighting back the Nazi’s in the East, in Russia. Their leader Joseph Stalin had been for years pressuring the U.S and British for some help liberating France in the west from the Germans. This finally happened in 1943 when agreed to begin an invasion in

Battle of the Atlantic:Since 1939 Canada participated in the fight against Germany . It wasn’t until the year 1944, where the advantage had shifted into the allies favor.

THE CALL FOR OFFENSIVE

Slowly but surely the tides would turn as allied forces would push back the enemy insurgence in North Africa, and then on the Eastern Front in Italy. They also began to win over the skies over Europe as well as over the Atlantic ocean. But the war would ultimately have to be won by fighting the Germans on land in the Western parts of Europe. Finally in 1944 the Allies

would decide to bring the fight to them in a powerful operation, known today as D-Day.

who were captured, wounded or killed totaled around 3,369. The allies did not want to have a repeat of this mistake.

Along the French side of the English Channel, the Germans had been littered with miles and miles of fortifications. It was seemingly impenetrable. It became known to the allies as the “Atlantic Wall”. The German fortifications overlooked the beaches and coastline, which were heavily laid with traps and obstacles such as land mines, barbed wire, barricades and ditches in order to stop and obstruct

the efforts by the invading allied armies.

A harbour was required in France in order to resupply the force for the invasion to be successful. It was decided that an assault on such a well defended port would be a mistake. This was due, because of what happened a few years earlier in 1942, when a raid on the French port of Dieppe was considered unsuccessful, because of the heavy casualties that were sustained. Were the number of Canadians

It took more than a year of secretly planning and preparations for the attack. The intended target would be the beaches of Normandy, France, during Operation Overlord. D-Day was an immense military undertaking, the likes that the world had never seen before. The plan was to train for an all out attack, by land, air and sea.. The mass build up of equipment and supplies were underway.

Adolf Hitler, himself called the massive occupied area “Fortress Europe”. Thousands of German Nazi troops covered the area, protected by concrete bunkers and armed with anti-tank fortifications and other artillery.

The allies decided that surprise attack would become their greatest weapon. They knew that they would be facing many obstacles in the fight against the Germans. Who were led by a legendary General, by the name of Irwin Rommel. They realized that to undertake such a feat, there would need to be much planning and secrecy in order for them to succeed.

The Germans had to know that an invasion was eventually coming for them. They just lacked the details of the how, where and when it was to come.

Everything had to be just right in order for the allies to attack, which included favorable weather and ocean tides... Even the phase of the moon was taken into account, when they considered their preparations for the oncoming invasion in France.

Pas de Calais was west of the Belgian border on the French coastline was a likely point of attack. It offered the quickest route into Germany, by way of a small distance across the English Channel. This is where the Germans would be likely expecting the attack from.

The allies suspected this, so they optioned to set their sights on a place called Normandy, located to the further west. With a mission to deploy armoured units, 6 infantry divisions as well as 156,000 soldiers onto 5 beaches across 100km of coastline, to push behind enemy lines.

The invasion was supposed to happen on June 5th, but due to intense bad weather conditions, the strike was put off until early the next morning. That was the when D-Day began.

Using information that the Allies painstakingly collected over the months before the attack, they constructed detailed plans, maps, photographs and models of the beaches that they planned to invade. These aids helped the soldiers plan while they waited in their camps. Laying out important landmarks layouts of the Normandy coastlines. Even showing places like houses, churches and more, in order to well prepare the soldiers for the impending attack when the time came. This helped them know what awaited them , as well as better understand their objectives.

A member of the Canadian Armed forces by the name of Ernest Adolphe Côté was largely responsible for supplying provisions and logistics for around 15,000 men. He was a lieutenant-colonel of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Canadian Armed Forces. He reported details about the execution of the administrative plans and their preparation directly to the commander, all details regarding the operations underway by the

military. Only a few officers actually knew the exact locations and dates of the impending invasion, and he was one of them. All his planning and preparations were carried out in secrecy.

Calais. This worked at drawing their attention away from the real invasion efforts in the Southwest of England. The area was totally sealed off by

the military, in order to maintain the secrecy they needed for the operation to be a success.

The allies used cunning tricks on the German army, in order to ensure their success. To keep their invasion plans a secret from the Nazi’s, The allies went so far as to create fake military battalions of trucks, tanks and other equipment made of wood and paper maché, stationed in the Southeast of England, in order to make the German army believe the invasion was coming by way of Pas de

The allies work diligently to deceive the enemy with the spread of false information, that was deliberately leaked to the Germans. This included fake details regarding where the attack would take place from.

The Allies also laid secret pipelines under the water on the ocean floor, so they could easily transfer much needed fuel to their troops, once they

were over the English channel. The code-name for these pipes were called “PLUTO”.

They were called “Mulberry harbours” and were put into place as docking facilities that were portable to move, in order to move their cargo and transport ships across the water and into France.

The British took large barge pieces at Gold Beach and built a form of floating harbours from them, in order to help make their way across the Channel..

ACROSS THE CHANNEL

Young men like lieutenant Fred Moar, from the North Shore Regiment of New Brunswick. He spent a year in intense training, stationed in England and Scotland, yet he still had no real

idea of what kinds of conflicts he soon will face. They trained to be the best anyway, with the attitude to be ready for anything.

Many of the men who would fight in the invasion at Juno Beach as part of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, actually had little or no experience in combat situations.

Canadian troops that attacked on Normandy were mostly young of age and not experienced in battle situations. That did not stop them from holding their own against some of the best forces from Germany.

In the year of 1944 the Battle of Normandy began. Starting with the landings on D-Day on the 6th of June, it continued on to August 21st, when at Falaise, the German army was eventually surrounded. It became to be known as some of Canada’s greatest feats of war.

The Battle of Normandy and Canada’s role in it , played a crucial part in the events that led to winning of World War 2.

During the Allied invasion of Normandy, Canada supplied soldiers, airmen and sailors, who participated in the operation, which were pivotal in its success. This battle of Normandy was also known as “Operation Overlord”.

On D-Day almost 150,000 allied fighters either parachuted or landed by boat on the beaches of Normandy, participating in the invasion, in order

They moved onto the Normandy coast that went on for around 80 km. The allied nations were assigned different beaches as their zones of attack. The United Kingdom was to move on code-named “Sword Beach”, United Kingdom and France would take “Gold Beach”. The Americans would undertake the invasion at “Omaha and Utah Beaches” and Canada would attack on “Juno Beach”.

D-Day took place on the 6th of June, 1944, regardless of unfavorable weather and conditions that they endured. It was a day that Canada, as well as the other allied nations participated in a series of events that made history.

to free Western Europe from being occupied by the Nazi Empire. It was a very bloody and devastating battle with heavy losses on both sides.

Getting through the enemy fortress that the enemy Germans had fortified with hard to penetrate defensive positions, would be extremely difficult. All along the coast of Europe, which extended Spain to Scandinavia. France was were the allied forces had to take over and establish position, this was in order to gain a foothold in the fight.

It would be no easy task for the allies to overtake such a enemy stronghold. They had to also consider what would happen in case of their defeat at the battle of Normandy. There must be some way that they could possibly evacuate the soldiers in great numbers, in case they had to retreat. They knew that there would be a large number of

casualties, whether they won or lost on that day in any case. But if they did manage to become successful on D-Day, it could turn the tides of the whole war. They would be able to establish a very important position, pushing into Western Europe in the efforts to liberate the occupation by the enemy, after years of struggle against their oppressors.

bomber plains from the RCAF.

Paratroopers were deployed in waves by flying gliders and aircrafts across the Normandy countryside. Many of the paratroopers missed their marked targets, because they were bombarded by heavy gunfire from anti-aircraft weapons.

Sadly many of these men died before getting to complete their mission, in large part because of the Germans flooding the fields where they were to land, causing them to drown.

Canadians sent a battalion of paratroopers along with three battalions of American and British paratroopers to attack behind enemy lines in order to flank the enemy during the force of the invasion. D-Day was the largest invasion ever attempted in history by sea. Over 14,000 Canadian forces advanced onto France, as well as 110 Navy Warships, 10,000 sailors as well as 15 fighter and fighter-

Some of the first of the Canadian troops to actually engage the enemy on D-Day, was the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. It consisted of over 450 men, who bravely jumped from planes and made their way inland towards the enemy. It all happened early in the morning, just before the break of dawn on the 6th of June. They did their part to make way for the roughly 14,000 Canadian soldier to land on shore in just a few hours time.

A number of planes from the RCAF were part of the attack consisting of around 4,000 Bomber and some 3,700 fighter planes. During the D-Day operation they worked on striking against the German defenses along the shoreline as well as the many targets that the Germans had located inland.

It took many missions in the time leading up to D-Day, in order for them to accomplish this feat. Also working on disrupting the Germans transport lines, which they heavily relied upon.

Without the aid of the allied warplanes the invasion at Normandy would have never been possible. They had helped clear the way for the troops to eventually force their way onto the beaches and overtake the Germans defenses.

“Operation Neptune” was the code-name for the assault by sea phase of the battle. It had 284 major combat ships, Royal Canadian Destroyer ships and other supporting vessels taking part. They bombarded the beaches and shoreline with their shells , in order to clear the way for the troops to land there , as well as fire on German defenses.

Naval vessels of all types undertook the operation during D-Day, numbering around 7,000.

NAVAL STRIKE

Canada advanced along the coastline close to daybreak. Many of the young soldiers were overwhelmed by awesome power of it all.

The first waves landing crafts descended upon the beaches only after an Arial bombardment commenced by the Naval ships onto the German defenses along the shoreline. The landing crafts were jam packed with soldiers with anticipation of the impending attack.. Often the soldiers were already sea sick, by the time they had reached the shores. The attacking soldiers met with heavy resistance, despite the Arial bombardment that took place before they had arrived. The enemy barricades would withstand the Arial assault, resulting in the invasion

meeting heavy force as they landed ashore on the beaches. The men had to work their way through chest high water before they even reached the beach, and many lost their lives in the water as they failed to evade the cascade of bullets that came towards them.

The most severe resistance that was met was on Omaha beach. The American soldiers tried their hardest to make their way across a vast area of

Canadians forces launched an assault on a beach named code Juno. The British forces would assault on beaches, Sword and Gold, while the Americans would attack two beaches under the code-names Omaha and Utah.An armada of ships numbering around 6,900, that included 110 Warships from

The 2nd. Canadian Armoured Brigade and the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division, would then make their assault on “Juno Beach”. These brave men were combined military units from all over Canada.

sand, only to have to scale high bluffs that followed after that. They were gunned down in large numbers trying to accomplish this. Before they had finally succeeded in their objection in securing the location, over 2,000 of them were wounded or killed in the fight. Some say that the sand was stained red with blood from the casualties that were sustained on that day.

Canadians suffered 1,074 casualties on D-Day, 359 of them lost their lives. In total over 10,000 casualties of war were felt by allied soldiers during that invasion.

Many French civilians were killed as the bombs and bullets fell upon the villages along the seaside. There were also hundreds of Germans that were killed on that day as well.

Those Canadians managed to achieve success in taking control of “Juno Beach”, also making their way farther inland than any of the other 155,000 allies during the June 6th operation in 1944.

The allied forces ultimately failed to reach their targets inland during the D-Day invasion, but the beaches at Normandy were finally secured by them. This was very important in allowing the allied to move their troops, supplies, tanks as well as their artillery on shore, in order to continue the fight forward against the enemy.

At the end of D-Day the German Atlantic was breached

by allied forces.

Their hard fought victory would ultimately come at a great cost, especially to Canadian Armed Forces. They had the highest number of casualties, out of all the British Army Divisions during the Normandy operation.

D-Day resulted in around 359 deaths of Canadian soldiers, then over the next two and a half months during the campaign in Normandy even more than 5,000 would parish in total. We left behind many good men to be buried in Canadian Cemeteries

Bény-sur-Mer and Bretteville-sur-Laize in France. They are beautiful places, and we remember those men as true heroes.

It also continued on for the Canadian Armed Forces, as they fought on in Rhineland, Scheldt as well as the Netherlands. During this allied offensive, the Canadians would be a crucial element in defeating the enemy, and claiming victory over the Germans in 1945, on may 8th.

Operation D-Day and the Battle of Normandy would only be the start of an 11 month long fought war that raged on in the Northwest of Europe.

The END of D-DAY WAS ONLY THE BEGINNING

The plan was to then move inland to a strategic position in the city of Caen. This was a place of transport and communications, that was vital to the mission.

These targets made up about 8km area of coastline. The soldiers had to force their way through heavy enemy gunfire, in order to set up a crucial defensive foothold against the Germans.

The mission was to move onto villages of Bernières-sur-Mer, Graye-sur-Mer, Courseulles-sur-Mer and Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer.

Yet the fight to ultimately liberate France from the Germans, was not over. The Canadians took heavy repeated casualties in the days that came after that, from the elite German 12th SS Panzer Division. They were truly a force to be reckoned with, under the command of well experienced German officers and their ruthless tactics. Canadians would fight the next month

seeking to control city of Caen, but it remained just out of their reach.

It was very intense combat that they had to endure through in the villages of Buron, Carpiquet and Authie. It was very hard, but still the Canadians would not give up. The bloody battles they faced there would stick in the minds of veterans of that war for the rest of their lives.

The battles still raged on to the South of the city in the countryside. The clouds of dust and blistering heat made the fight a grueling one. Canada pressed on despite this and marched forward to Verrières Ridge. It took them many attempts to take it over. This bloody battle caused a large number of men to become wounded, and also cost the lives of many.

With the help from the British, the Canadians finally conquered the city of Caen on the 9th and 10th of July that year.

By August 21st, the Canadians would finally achieve this goal. It took them much effort through the chaos of the battle and eventually captured many German soldiers, numbering in the tens of thousands. Paris was finally free from the clutches of the German army on August 25th, 1944. This would signal the end of the allied campaign in Normandy, France.

In July of 1944 the Nursing Sisters of Canada would make their way to the battle of Normandy.

Forcing the Germans to flee to the East. In the opposite direction of the Allied invasion. The Canadians had to press on closing the distance in Falaise, which happened in the middle of August. This was done in an effort to cut off the retreat by the enemy German troops.

The German defenses in France finally began to break down, thanks to help from the Americans in the West of Normandy.

Those that served and continue to serve for our nation should be remembered for their achievements and sacrifices that they have made for all of us. Not just in times of conflict,

but their duty during times of peace, as well. Help preserve their legacy, by participating in remembrance day activities.

There was over one million men and woman who fought and served in that war. More than 45,000 of them would pay the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for the cause. The brave soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy, did so in the name of peace and freedom, not only just for them and their families but for all people everywhere.

We hold a great pride as Canadians, for the hard fought efforts our fellow countrymen put forth in World War Two. We all must make sure we remember this event and the sacrifice that was made, even after many decades later.

Remembering THE SACRIFICE

Many of the facts in these articles, regarding D-Day and World War Two, were obtained from the Veterans Affairs Canada website at:

Brother Lionel Toupin was a fighter pilot during Second World War. At 17, Joyce wanted to join him. She had to wait a year until she was 18 and then pass rigorous physical requirements to be accepted.

She left school to join the Royal Canadian Airforce. She was a wireless operator and part of Precision Squad. She was stationed in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. She also met her husband, David John Latendre, who was her commander.

After they married, they settled in Garson, Ontario where Dave joined Inco as a miner and they raised ten children. Mining was dangerous in those days before unions and health and safety. They survived. Joyce could feed an army of hungry kids with one chicken.

Once all of the children were in school, she returned to school, graduating at the top of her class as a Registered Nursing Assistant in the days when they gave injections and medication.

She was a role model as a strong, independent, self sufficient woman and a great mother. She did what was necessary because it had to be done.

She was a loyal Montreal Canadians fan. She loved camping and fishing. After her husband had passed away, she and her best friend and sister in law, Vera Latendre, shared travels down south, out east, out west, and even to England. The were the dynamic duo.

She helped her children raise 17 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren. She was an extremely proud grandma.

She was also very proud to be a Legion Branch 336 member and participated in all the functions. She was most proud of representing the Silver Cross Mother each year on Remembrance Day. Even though a veteran, she lost her beloved brother Lionel in a bombing run during the Second World War. He was never found.

Joyce enjoyed each day, staying in her own home, making her own meals and savouring a glass of white wine.

Joyce passed peacefully on December 27, 2018 with all of her children with her. She will be missed by her huge loving family.

Born February 4, 1923 in Croyden, England. Emigrated to Canada in 1927 at age 4 with brother Lionel. Little brother Denis was born in Canada.

Taking men from where they are today to all they can be

tomorrow, at this unique life skills training ranch development centre.

25 minutes South of Lloydminster on Hwy 17

battleriverranchcamp.com

It is the first of a kind, Christ-centered,supportive, drug and alcoholic free facility. We also work hand-in-hand with recovery centres as vital after care, for many who have successfully completed a one-year recovery program, such as at Teen Challenge or Rock Solid Refuge. We are not a recovery centre ourselves but a great place to go after they have been through a year of recovery, while continuing to build character and vital life skills that will point them in a productive career direction.

You do not have to be a Christian to attend. With the ranch training you are better able to move into secure jobs in an area in which you are suited for. We are focused on finding, developing and encouraging an individual in their strengths, hoping to develop confident men for the workplace who will be a productive asset to society rather than being a draw on society.

We are a fully functioning ranch located on 80 acres of land 25 minutes south of Lloydminster on Highway 17. The land was donated in April 2008. It was bare land with no infrastructure and so we began from scratch training the volunteers who came to help us with its set up. We accepted our first trainee in the fall of 2012. We are debt-free and a non-profit Canadian charity and move ahead as funding is provided through all those willing to invest in these lives. We are so grateful for the amazing success of those completing the ranch program. There are so many opportunities for these men to try the different trades, for example: electrical, plumbing, welding, operating equipment and find out what they love to do. This inevitably results in helping men be excited about their futures whereas before there was so much uncertainty and fear of failing further. Please contact the Executive Director about the cost of this schooling, which has an intake at various times in the year that run generally a minimum of 6 months.

Call executive director: Harold Stephan for more information at 780-205-4743
