5 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

6 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 American, British, and Canadian troops across the channel

7 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

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

9 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
