"My God…They’re Through Already" — What Eisenhower Said When Canada Blitzed Through Juno Beach

Описание: "My God…They’re Through Already" — What Eisenhower Said When Canada Blitzed Through Juno Beach

This documentary reveals how Canada’s assault at Juno Beach stunned the Supreme Commander himself on D-Day. From the moment Canadian troops hit the sand to their lightning-fast breakthrough of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, the Third Canadian Infantry Division rewrote every planning estimate for Operation Overlord. In just 53 minutes, Canadian forces smashed through German coastal defenses that Allied planners believed would hold for hours.

German bunkers, mines, and interlocking machine-gun fire were supposed to bleed the attackers dry. Instead, Canadian infantry, armor, and engineers pushed inland with relentless momentum, advancing farther than any other Allied force on June 6th. German commanders were caught completely off guard, rushing reserves toward the Canadian sector as their defenses collapsed faster than anticipated.

This video explores the Allied and German perspectives on the Canadian breakthrough at Juno Beach, why Eisenhower reacted with disbelief, how Canadian aggression and initiative shocked German defenders, and how those first minutes on D-Day reshaped Eisenhower’s understanding of modern warfare. It is the story of how Canada didn’t just crack the Atlantic Wall—but changed the thinking of the man commanding the largest invasion in history.
