D-Day was just the beginning. The Allies' urgent next task was to burst through the massive German defences pinning them on the coast. On July 4, 1944, 3rd Canadian Infantry Division won the village of Car-piquet but not the adjacent airfield. Instead of the speedy victory they had hoped for, the men faced a bloody fight. The Canadians advanced relentlessly against Hitler's finest armoured divisions, at a great cost in bloodshed. Initially, only the 3rd Division was involved. But a couple of weeks later, two other Canadian divisionsùand Infantry and 4th Armouredùalong with a Polish division and several divisions of 1 British Corps came together as First Canadian Army. While their generals wrangled and planned, the soldiers fought within a narrow landscape extending a mere twenty-one miles from Caen to Falaise. On July 22, the Canadians won a vicious two-day fight for Verrières Ridge that cost them 1,500 casualties. More bloody battles followed, until finally, on August 21, the narrowing gap the Allies had been developing at Falaise closed when American, Polish, and Canadian troops shook hands. The German army in Normandy had been destroyed, fewer than 50,000 of about 400,000 men escaping. The Allies suffered 206,000 casualties, of which 18,444 were Canadians. With its trademark "you are there" style, Mark Zuehlke's ninth book in the best-selling Canadian Battle Series concludes the story of First Canadian Army's bitter and costly combat debut in World War 11ùthe breakout from Normandy's beaches to the closure of the Falaise Gap. It is a story of uncommon heroism, endurance, and sacrifice by Canada's World War 11 volunteer army. Book jacket. Media > Book<

The ninth book in the Canadian Battle Series, Breakout from Juno, is the first dramatic chronicling of Canada''s pivotal role throughout the entire Normandy Campaign following the D-Day landings. On July 4, 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division won the village of Carpiquet but not the adjacent airfield. Instead of a speedy victory, the men faced a bloody fight. The Canadians advanced relentlessly against Hitler''s finest armoured divisions, at a great cost in bloodshed. Initially, only the 3rd Division was involved, but in a couple of weeks two other Canadian divisions - 2nd Infantry and 4th Armoured - along with a Polish division and several British divisions came together as First Canadian Army. While their generals wrangled and planned, the soldiers fought within a narrow landscape extending a mere 21 miles from Caen to Falaise. The Canadians won a two-day battle for Verriï??res Ridge starting on July 21, costing them 1, 500 casualties. More bloody battles followed, until finally, on August 21, the narrowing gap that had been developing at Falaise closed when American and Canadian troops shook hands. The German army in Normandy had been destroyed, only 18, 000 of about 400, 000 men escaping. The Allies suffered 206, 000 casualties, of which 18, 444 were Canadians. Breakout from Juno is a story of uncommon heroism, endurance and sacrifice by Canada''s World War II volunteer army and pays tribute to Canada''s veterans at a time when many Canadians, young and old, are actively engaged in acts of remembrance. | Breakout from Juno by Mark Zuehlke Hardcover | Indigo Chapters Books > History > North American History > Canada > Military History P10103, Mark Zuehlke<
