WHERE TO WATCH

D-Day: 80 Years

Synopsis:

Eighty years ago, volunteer Canadian soldiers bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy––running into machine gun fire, land mines, and years of built-up German defences––to help liberate France from the Nazis. The veterans who remain are now in their nineties and hundreds. For some, it could be their last trip to Juno Beach. Join CBC News on the 80th anniversary of D-Day as we bring new parts of the story to life, connect new generations to this historical moment, and take you to the heart of the place where so many men and boys from our country made the ultimate sacrifice.
