My father was in the Stormont Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders of the 9th Brigade. He was always proud of the fact that they never took a backward step. I'd like to thank "The Water Rats" for 80 years of freedom.

My grandad was in a British anti-aircraft regimrent supporting the 1st Canadian army from the Seine, Rouen, Antwerp and the Scheldt. I am blessed he came home. Lest we forget 🙏🏽

Can't wait!

You can't include Justin Trudeau he only answers to the Nazi Klaus Shwabe WEF Trudeau sells Canadian people out to Klaus, HAMAS, PALESTINIAN PROTESTERS, ILLEGAL MIGRANTS ETC

I like how the troop warrant officer is a sergeant and the troop sergeant is a master corporal 😂

Nice ceremony how does an individual get a membership for the Edmonton United services institute

I would like to know.how to get a membership to the Edmonton United services institute as I already hold a membership to Rausi in Calgary

A fascinating talk. Thank you for sharing. What an immense sacrifice these brave men made for us.

God bless the Canadians............excellent troops undoubtedly - but I would say a few things here that need some sort of balance as inadvertently it gives a false impression of the British at Normandy He fails to mention: - 1) The Canadians at Normandy were probably expected to make quicker progress as they had less German strongpoints to overcome - the speaker is incorrect in saying Juno was the 2nd most defended after Omaha. British Gold sector had 28 German strongpoints, British Sword sector had 27 German strongpoints including 2 'Stutzpunkten' which were a sort of extra-strong defensive position including 'Strongpoint Hillman', the Canadian sector had just 7 strongpoints. Hillman strongpoint included steel cupola defensive lids, mines and extensive wire, and at least 10 machine gun posts, and it was finally taken after a ferocious battle by the 1st Suffolks by 8.30pm. They were faced by the bulk of 21st SS Panzer Division yet they moved on to Levisey Wood by midnight, some 5-6 miles inland, almost level with the Canadians. 2) No credit is given to British at Juno - their were 14,000 Canadians, and 7,000 British including 48 Commando who cleared the German defences immediately behind Juno Beach which made progress in this sector easier. 3) The Canadians had twice as much field artillery (anti-tank artillery) than the divisions in the adjoining British sectors, and were the largest division overall that landed, comprising 144 artillery guns and howitzers plus their own divisional artillery. 4) The attack by the 12th SS Panzer Division Hitlerjugend (Hitler Youth) was supposed to have been supported by the elite 21st Panzer Division but they could not disengage from fighting the British 3rd Infantry Division and were still at Couvre, as a result the right flank was open and being probed by Canadian tanks. Some Canadians came across little opposition on D-Day after the battle at the beach, and were able to move inland with the bulk of the Canadian force by-passing Buron and moved on Authie. So the greatest distance inland claim is a bit deceptive, only 3 tanks reached Carpiquet Airfield after little opposition and had to retreat to stay with the remainder of the division. 5) The only division to achieve all their objectives on D-Day were in fact British 6th Airborne Division, though it seemed likely the Canadians would have if not ordered by Dempsey to stay in line with the other sectors. 6) There was a huge discrepancy in pay between British troops and American /Canadian troops who received almost twice as much as their British counterparts. Although this arguably would not affect performance, it was a cause of great bitterness amongst British troops, unable to buy local goods when French shop-owners realised American or Canadian troops were in the area. Other than that the Brits and Canadians got on very well, but it did create envy and a sense of being under-valued. 7) The speaker is incorrect when he states that Juno saw the 2nd highest Allied casualties after Omaha, though he would have been making that incorrect statement based on information previously available. Unfortunately the British failed to keep official death rates on D-Day, and only recently via grave count has this been clarified. In the first 24 hours following the invasion the Americans had 6,603 casualties at Omaha and Utah, the British 2,700 at Sword and Gold, and the Canadians 946 at Juno. Importantly, in terms of deaths, the latest 2024 estimates of deaths by the Commonwealth War Crimes Commission have recently revised death totals on D-Day (6th June) itself based on grave counts - 2,501 deaths in the US sector (nearly all Omaha,) 1,760 deaths on the two British beaches (mostly Sword around 1,400), and 370 deaths on Juno. The count on British beaches had previously been massively under-estimated. The Canadians suffered 18,444 casualties, the British 63,865, and the Americans 124,394 casualties. The fighting had been as bitter as anything experienced in WW1, with 2,354 casualties a day to the Allies. By the end of August 1944, all British infantry divisions had lost 75% of their initial fighting strength. But in fact Omaha and then Sword were by some way the most bloody sectors, then Juno and Gild similar, followed by relatively blood-free Utah. So simply trying to give some balance because each sector had its unique issues.

Now I can just imagine using this simulator to play war thunder

The fire commands sound so much different from the Abram’s

Can't see myself seeing those ladies doing track maintenance. I did it at 18 and I really tested by physical abilities to the max. Retorque of track pads required all my strength and body weight.

My grandfather and my great-uncle were two of the many native Canadian volunteers. They were overseas for five years but I have no idea what battles they were involved with or what divisions they were part of etc. All I know is they did their duty and did kill Nazis.

Inside the “POD” , which I was employed to repsir

Pound for pound, the most victorious and accomplished of the Allied effort. Time and again. (And I'm a Yank, btw.).

My Dad was there at the Falaise Gap with the SARS South Alberta Regiment his name was Douglas Alexander Griffin. I only wish i could find some pictures of him while he was there.

Canadians never mention the hostility of french canadians to participate

I wish they would persevere a little more on wearing their berets properly.

I am proud to have started my career in Toronto, to live 15 minutes from a memorial to Canadians in this battle area, to have participated in a ceremony at Putot in the presence of the Governor 20 years ago. Proud , and thankful to be free and still alive, not far from Reviers.

......and Churchill was also a high stake gambler on the Riviera, almost always never a winner and making his wife nervous.

This would be a great youth program for Cadets, but this is not how you field a capable fighting force

I just know those people next to the pipes had their ears ringing after lololol

Keep your hand in a fist when loading the main armament. People lose fingers when fingers are spread. Follow the round all the way into the breach, and you will never have a misfire.

Bonnie Dundee und Steamboat sehr schön...

I have never understood why the Canadian troops did not fight alongside the American troops considering they both come from North America.

Nice too see. Edmonton treated us well returning from Afghanistan. Not the same returning from Sarajevo in Winnipeg and Cyprus in Calgary. Thanks Edmonton.

So Canadian. He ends up drinking moose milk with those little fish during the New Years levy. Excellent video, as a veteran I agree, Canadians do not appreciate our service.

Historically speaking the Canadian army performed much better when they were under direct Canadian leadership and Canadian military planning. Just look at the record of Canadian general G Simmons, many times general Montgomery called upon him to formulate a plan to break a dead lock. Especially the battle of leading up to the Rhine River crossing. Sadly general Montgomery use the Canadians and any Commonwealth soldiers as shock troops mainly because he did not have to account for Commonwealth deaths to the English government. Same as with the Australian troops in the Southwest Pacific there is absolutely no reason the Australians could not have fought independently under their own leadership, you have to remember the Australian government had the guts to pull their 7th division out from under Montgomery's command and bring them back to Australia. And the ultimate kick in the teeth for the Canadian soldiers were that general Montgomery made sure that Canada did not get an area of occupation in Germany. It is ironic that the Canadian people and military contributed so much and got so little out of the war, the country of France who had a marginal contribution militarily wound up getting their own area of occupation. Are firmly believe Canada would have performed very well under direct Canadian leadership and planning,.

How many live rounds do they fire on the course?

My Grandfather was a Canadian member of The U.S./Canada First Special Service Force (The Black Devil's). His unit was credited as being the First into Rome. He said though that it got overshadowed by D-day.

Canadian army have proved time and time again the best allied soldiers in WW1 and WW2. Ask the Germans.

Good to hear. My uncle was with the same engineers

Nice!!

cant wait for this crs

I am constantly amazed when it is a Canadian presentation that they always ommit the Australians at Kapyong , the soldiers who fought against 10,000 and only had 700 and who stood fighting hand to hand a lot and aft er fighting withou artillery or air support finally started to run out of ammuntion after roughly 36 hours and had to withdraw and form up in front of the Brittish Middlesex Unit, resupplied they offered to fight the Chinese again, at this stage the Canadians had NOT been engaged and as this interviewee clearly states, the Canadians had air cover and they had artillery cover from the very start, the Australians had neither in their intital conflict because t hey had only just formed up and took t he brunt. The CHinese following up the Australians declined the fight offered after the Aus tr alians were re formed and so, instead, these SAME Chinese, who had been fighting continually for 36 hours then decided they would go up the hill against the Canadians, the FRESH Canadians.

Thank you, Canada. For guarding freedom, on my N flank. Hoping I - for one - can hold, just a little S of you.

The Germans took heavier casualties at Authie, Buron, and Les Buisons than some sources state, altering narrative. Evidence proving higher casualty figures can be found in Stopping the Panzers by Marc Milner as well papers by Mike Bechtold and Arthur Gullachsen.

"Battle of Cah." Monty's first big failure in N France... hardly his last.

My names not on it LOL I’m from Treaty 8/Labradormuit/Metis.

Thank you for posting, beautiful true Karate. What a wonderful atmosphere. There is so much McDojo videos out there so it's a relief to see some real true Karate. Couple of familiar faces out there.

I'm on my way to a Battle of the Atlantic observance in a couple of hours. There won't be any Sea Cadets there, just us old (Cold War) Veterans and serving Naval Reservists.

Too quick. Bonnie Dundee ... and FFL tradition. It isn't about Marines' monkey drill (which I envy enormously) --LER 1970-1973 (before ComRsch/SigInt)

Thanks so much !!! From Korea

Nice vid I was posted to Gagetown in 1998. Too bad we barely have any fully functioning Leo's......

Nice, the joystick at 4:10 (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is exactly what I have here next to my monitor!

Thank You For Your Thorough Overview of the Important Contribution of the Canadian Army during the Normandy Campaign in WW II 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

so there was something that was called the CanLease program where Canadian jr officers went to lead in British regiments so we did have an experience problem in our jr officer corp but our troops seemed to adapt and overcome it rather quickly
