My father who was with the RCR out of London ontario, was sent to Italy, and later to a few other theaters in the 2ww!!! He like my uncle came back home to canada, not the same after there service. And little was offered in medical services, etc. We need to respect our men and women who served, for they gave of there lives so that we could have a better world to live in!!!

Thank you for sharing this. The courage shown on D-Day deserves to be remembered by every generation. That is also the message behind my tribute song, “D-Day for Freedom,” and its official music video, which was filmed on Omaha Beach.

Lieutenant James Montgomery “Jimmy” Doohan, of Vancouver British Columbia, served with the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. Doohan landed on Juno Beach, D-Day, and led his men ashore after taking out two German snipers. The group went through a maze of anti-tank mines finally settling in a defensive position for the night. Later in the evening a Canadian sentry mistaked Jimmy for the enemy and Doohan was hit six times resulting in the loss of his finger and a near fatal shot that was halted by his cigarette case. Luck with on his side. "Doohan recovered from his wounds and became part of the Air Observation Pilot Course 40 with 11 other Canadian artillery officers. Jimmy was taught how to fly a Taylorcraft Auster Mark IV plane. He was later dubbed the “craziest pilot in the Canadian air force” after flying between two telephone poles in 1945 just to prove that he could." Jimmy never flew in combat but retained his title all the same."After the war Jimmy Doohan returned to Canada with plans of furthering his education. Ironically, his distaste for a local radio drama led him to the career as the well-known character of "Scotty" on the popular science fiction show Star Trek. James Montgomery Doohan passed away on July 20, 2005 at the age of 85.

This is a new story to me, but my comments relate more to the video itself. Firstly, because it's narrated by an American (the pronunciations are typically American - e.g. no Canadian as far as I've ever heard, would pronounce Regina as "Regeena!" The narrator tells us that the DD Tanks they'd all sank prepared - another first from my history of D-Day. Yes, that was the case with the US troops aiming for Omaha Beach who were expressly  told not to launch in deep water, and which we knowall bar two sank within minutes. At Juno, Canadian tanks certainly went  into action, launched at the water's edge from landing craft. At this point we are shown a section of the D-Day map - except it's part of the Omaha Sector!. Throughout the narration we are shown photo after photo of American troops which were barely mentioned in the entire video (unusual in itself)!! Yet the narrative is about the Canadians. We then see something that ((usually only Americans do) - the narrator tells us about the Cannucks sheltering on the beach at the foot of a low cliff, but they are all wearing British unifoms of the Boer and First World War Desert uniforms and same period British helmets!!! Looks like whoever made this video doesn't know the differences between Gallipoli (1916) and Rorke's Drift (1879). It certainly wasn't 1944. How can we  know that some of these other photos purporting to be Cannucks were not Cannucks? Simple...Canadians wore British-style battledress but did not carry the American Garrand or M1 rifle, and they didn't use Sherman tanks with the white US Star painted on them! It is true to say that the Canadians did well - in fact better than many of the Allied units - but also paid a heavy price in the process.
We are then taken to (note) "Army" Headquarters in Ottowa 1950 - but figure of the (Librarian?) is an wearing a US Army uniform - isn't amazing how many Americans turn up in these videos when they're not even in the storyline? The narrator then tells us that there were no supporting lines behind the German front line above the beaches - and shows photos of a quite barren Normandy farmland. Well... you can tell that story to the fairies, because the original photos  and the TRUE stoies of the Brits@ ad Canadians@ struggle against these enemy positions tell a vey different version. We are then shown the wall of a military museum...and of course it's an American gallery - not Canadian, not French, and most definitely not Bitiah - because the Americans only ever glorify themselves - you see it in every archive film shown.
At the supposed Canadian stopping point - their objective - we are shown three American Shermans "Holding the Railway Line", except that that they are not Canadian troops but Americans. The next phot shows a very indistinct phot of two soldiers digging a trench wearing French Adrain helmets and British-style leggings - all very WW1..
So my friends, this entire video stanks from start to finish; it's so disjointed with its information, so Amerian oriented and with so many out-of-context photos that the entire video is worthless. As always, I advise that you don't bother with the text, because it's AI, and all AI insertions are so awful I'm surprised that uploaders still use them.

your statement that no canadian on D-Day had fought in a battle was untrue ,, many Officers and NCOs had fought for a year or so in italy

Why do you always present US Army soldiers instead of Canadian soldiers in a Canadian fight?
Their uniforms and equipment are distinctive, so please, dig into proper archives.

Tedious a.i; don't recommend this channel 🚫

There is a sad lack of videos of Normandy or the Battle of Atlantic about the Canadian and their war.

The UK and France declared war on the 3rd of September 1939 after Germany invaded 1st September 1939 Poland who is an ally. The Canadians declared war on Germany on10th September 1939.

I came to this video because I thought at last WW2 and Canada contribution. But I was sadly disappointed by the presentation.  I fully agree 💯 % with  @reggriffiths5769 comhensive comments on this video. So I'm not boring anyone by repeating the comments.

But I will say the following Canada played a major role in World War II by fighting overseas, building a massive military, and supplying crucial food and weapons. Over 1.1 million Canadians served in the army, navy, and air force, with more than 42,000 losing their lives.

D-Day and Juno Beach: Canadian troops landed on Juno Beach on June 6, 1944, successfully pushing deep into France.

The Battle of the Atlantic:  The Royal Canadian Navy grew from a tiny force into the third-largest navy in the world, escorting supply ships across dangerous waters.

Battle of Britain Canadian fought in this air battle.

The Italian Campaign: Canadian soldiers fought through Sicily and Italy from 1943 until early 1945.

Liberation of the Netherlands: Canadian forces played the primary role in freeing the Dutch people from German occupation in 1945.

Early Actions: Troops also took part in the tragic defense of Hong Kong and the Dieppe Raid in 1942.

The German intelligence and front-line units respected their tactical proficiency and used the presence of the First Canadian Army to track major upcoming offensives.

Ahem.  The rank lieutenant is pronounced CORRECTLY in Canada as    "Left-ten-ant."     For you Yankeedoodles, it would be as the video corrupts as "Looo-Ten-int." Wake up! If you're gonna mis-speak, do it on your own internet. Canadian-based videos deserve respect  .  .  .  eh?

Well done video! One point for future videos. In  Canada its pronounced "LEFT tennant, and LEFT tennant general" LOO tenant is American.
