The Normandy Invasion CHC 2DR Lesson 49

The Normandy Invasion Agenda: Minds-On: Lessons from Dieppe Action: Note and discussion Video & Note-taking Consolidation: 3 Things

Planning Element of surprise was essential Built up a fake airbases, installations, tanks, etc. across the Channel from Calais Allied forces were actually gathering further west

D-Day June 5, 1944 was chosen for the launch of “Operation Overlord” Bad weather delayed the assault for 24 hours Began on the morning of June 6 Under cover of air and naval bombardments, ships started ferrying 150 000 American, British, and Canadian troops across the channel

Canadians landed at Juno Beach, one of 5 beaches landed on that day Improvements since Dieppe: Better landing craft Better communication links More effective naval and air support Special tanks to crush German bunkers & clear minefields

Germans were completely surprised Most Allied commanders didn’t even know the landing site until they opened that morning’s orders

Juno Beach 14 000 Canadians landed on 8 km stretch of beach Faced concrete bunkers, land mines, barbed-wire barriers, and deadly machine guns Canadians were able to fight past all this Penetrated further inland than anyone else, by the end of the first day 340 killed, 574 wounded, 47 captured

WWII Ends Following the Normandy invasion, the Allies spent 11 months pushing the Germans out of other nations This was called the ‘Liberation’

What the Canadians Did General Crerar had all 5 Canadian divisions under his command It was the first time that a) all the Canadian army was together and b) under a Canadian leader April 1945, Canadians had to go north into Holland and free it (Liberate it) They cleared north-east Europe; canals, bogs, dedicated Nazis, severe fighting

A truce was called in Holland to get food to starving Dutch citizens Canadians flew in food and dropped it by parachute 9000 Canadians were freed from German POW camps May 8, 1945 – “VE DAY” – Victory in Europe – official holiday This was the greatest celebration Canada had ever seen
