Great video. Greetings from Halifax. My dad, a Spitfire pilot, sailed from here in early 1944.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching!

Canada House has always reminded me of Macdonald House, which is a significant landmark in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia. The Lawrencetown just to the East of Cole Harbour, that is. Although no scene of WWII combat, nearby Jeddore was pinpointed as a possible landing site for amphibious raids by forces of the Central Powers in WWI. Allied ships were torpedoed in the Halifax Approaches in WWII, so it was a battle front at the end of the day. Macdonald House was completed in 1949 on a grassy headland with a commanding view. Just in time for the broad sunlit uplands. Lest we forget.

Thanks for sharing and for watching my friend :)

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

The Canadians were a big part of the D-Day invasion. We are very fortunate to have such good neighbors to our north!❤

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Totally so Cynthia and we appreciate you my friend :)

[@JuleyC]

Thank you for this HH. I too started my life journey in Halifax, and it took me to Juno beach as a 5th year student in 1983. Thank you dear friend for telling the story of my countrymen's contribution to D-Day and the liberation of Europe.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Interesting Juley and must have been exciting for you. Thanks so much for your FANTASTIC support and we send our greetings from us :)

[@Quatra112]

In de streets behind that house, you can still see tank tracks on the road from D-Day. And not far from that house their was a "pleasure" house for the German soldiers. I truly enjoy your videos. I would like a France tour from you and this marks the beginning i hope. So many stories in normandie alone. I'm from Holland and have been going their voor more than 20 years and every year i find something new.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

There will be much more coming in the future from many locations. Thanks.

[@ImmortalUsus]

Great video, there really isnt enough focus put on the Canadian contributions to the Allied effort, so thanks for shedding a bit of light on them. Absolutely love this series, cant wait for more!

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

So true and thanks for being here :)

Great video My father in law was with the 1st Can parachute Battalion they jumped several hours before the boats. Airborne Parachute's main business was to protect the east flank so that nobody could come across the river. He was captured 3 days after dday with 8 others they got cutoff in a field and had to surrender. They sent them to Paris and were put on box cars and sent to place called Mulberg on the River Elbe at the age of 16 He loved to talk about it and i never got tired of the stories.

[@scottlin777]

I just subscribed to your channel. I have watched and commented numerous times, and I finally subscribed. I should have done this much sooner. Thank you for keeping history alive.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

We appreciate that and send our greetings to you :)

[@Bill53AD]

Love these shorts, HH. Great graphics and photos with your perfect narration.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thank you and more to come later. Take care and keep smiling :)

[@mainlander6299]

The Canadians gave so much, the Dieppe raids took so many. Trained initially for defensive roles in the uk, they ended up on the sharp end and suffered many losses.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks for watching :)

[@colleenpriest7838]

Thanks HH great video. British Royal Marine Commandos also went ashore with the Canadians. My late friend Jim Stanner was one of them, I am so glad he survived to tell me his story of D-Day and rest of his war exploits.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

As always brilliantly researched and bringing history to life through the great photo,s and graphics.Really love this different style of presenting WW2 history HH.Also a massive thank you to EE for the Christmas band of brothers photo and the Feldpost envelope.I have put it in pride of place next to a photo of my Grandfather on horse back somewhere in France during WW1.👍👍

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

All our pleasure and very glad you have a piece of history there with your photo of your Grandfather. Thank you so much my friend :)

[@sirianstarseed1896]

Watching this at 19:40pm uk time lol. Great video HH n EE

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

thanks so much :)

[@juliegriffin7609]

The Canadians were a vital part during WW2 . They were very courageous and suffered many casualties. I really enjoyed this video very much. I'm pleased that the house has been restored and is still standing. If only some of the bunkers we've visited had been saved for history's sake but government people don't think as we do. We wish to preserve history so it's not repeated and they just want to destroy it. 😢 I love the way you took us all the way to Canada and back to the Eastern Front. This was a fantastic video. You are a wonderful story teller. I hope you are better and I wish Eagle Eyes a speedy recovery. Take care and stay safe. 💖💯

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Great history and thanks Julie :)

Was in Sea Cadets in Halifax for 7 years, we sailed all around that area in our lasers, 420s, albacores, it's a hoot playing chicken with a container ship in a dingy LOL.

[@anthonyroberts7718]

Nice piece of history. It’s amazing that the house is still there. Wish the remaining German bunkers were restored to show their history. Great little video.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Interesting story and thanks Anthony :)

[@dixonpaul9069]

Everyone made huge sacrifice

[@paulhoffman6371]

Well presented HH. The way history is nothing more than something from long ago, with no meaning, is unfortunate.

[@WW2HistoryHunter]

Thanks so much Paul :)
