Ep218: D-Day 80th - Juno Beach (Part 5)

Living History with Mat McLachlan

Juno Beach was sandwiched between Gold and Sword, and was the responsibility of Canadian forces to secure. But in scenes reminiscent of Omaha Beach to the west, the Canadians came ashore in the face of withering German fire and suffered heavy casualties. What made Juno Beach such a deadly place to land on D-Day?

In the final episode of our special series on the D-Day landings, Mat is joined by historian Mike Bechthold to tell the story of the landing at Juno Beach.

Hosts: Mat McLachlan and Mike Bechthold
