Focusing on the Canadian forces during World War II, this book details the Juno Beach landings by the 3rd Canadian Division, supported by Polish troops, with the goal of capturing Carpiquet airfield. It highlights the successful achievement of three objective lines on D-Day and examines the counterattack by the 12SS Panzer Group, alongside the tragic executions of Canadian soldiers. Many of the troops faced their first combat experience abroad, and the book also documents the bravery recognized through the medals awarded to them.
