Canada & World War II?
|
I'm trying to find a battle in WWII which was a big moment for Canada for a school project.
So far I've checked out Juno Beach and the Invasion of Italy mostly but its all joint operations of several allied countries.
If anyone can tell me of a battle where Canada really shined can you let me know? Thanks!

Google up 'The Dieppe Raid' I think it was in 1942.
It was a sort of practice for the D day landings.
It was mostly a Canadian show.. |
