D Day was the invasion of Nazi Germany by 160,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy The Allies had misled Germany to believe that the main invasion target was Pas-de-Calais by using fake equipment; a phantom army, double agents, and fraudulent radio transmissions. 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft were involved in the D-Day invasion. 9,000 Allied casualties

7 Canada’s Role 14 000 Canadian soldiers were planned to land on the beaches. 10 000 sailors and many ships were supplied to the effort by the Royal Canadian Navy. Lancaster bombers and Spitfire fighters from the Royal Canadian Air Force supported the invasion. Canada had the major role of taking one of the five designated beaches where Allied forces landed. Canada was responsible for Juno Beach.

8 Why? Germany had invaded France The Defeat of the U Boats (submarines of the Nazis) in the Battle of Atlantic The Royal Air Force gained control of the skies at the end of the Battle of Britain
