Excavating Juno Beach - War Junk - History Documentary

My dad landed on Utah Beach with the 4th Infantry Division on D-day. He continued advancing through France, Belgum and Holland until the German surrender. He was wounded three times and sent back after healing each time. He carried dozens of pieces of German steel in his body to his grave. He said the German 88 was feared among the troops and was extremely wicked.

I love history and the story was all the more remarkable in finding the bracelet. Many people watching WW2 documentaries think after the landings it was smooth sailing and nothing could be further from the truth. The carnage was hellish on both sides. Thank you for this video and searching and finding these sacred discoveries.

a wonderful little bit of history many thanks for your time and effort , I would love to see more clips just like this

It’s about time and refreshing to see the history of Juno beach rather than the two American beaches. I have read that the fighting on Sword, Juno and Gold beaches was more intense and more casualties taken than on Omaha beach which is the only beach that most people know thanks to movies like “Saving Pte Ryan”. I like the idea that the Canadians forces that landed on D Day are finely coming out from under the over shadowing of the American forces.

Excellent story ..well done. I hope the Tobruks are going to be left open for future generations to see. Thanks for all the hard work..

Fantastic and very informative. I appreciate the effort put into this. I hope to see the excavations revealed soon. Great stuff. War Junk Rocks!

Very cool. But I hate tv styled shows on YouTube.

Imagine getting inside one of those Bunker, and getting out back in the time D-day landings! Both exciting and terrifying!

That ravine position was incredibly well hidden for how small that wood was. Wow.

It's refreshing to see new things brought to light .

A family friend who has long since passed, Was in the canadian military prior to the US joining the war, He did several raids with them and when the US Joined the war, he left the Canadian Commandos and came over and joined the US military and went on to join the Air Force and go on missions on bombers over europe, he was shot down at least 7 times and survived all of them and was the only survivor of all of them and coincidentally after the war it was discovered he went on the most missions out of anyone in ww2. Guy was insanely lucky, One mission he went on the plane got shot up and lost all but 2 of its engines and on the way back it kept getting lower and lower to the water and he started throwing everything overboard and it didnt help and when he saw the plane was too low and was going to crash into the cliffs of dover he jumped out the side of the plane and landed in the water and managed to survive get up and see the plane hit the cliffs and then he swam to shore and walked all the way into a village and got help. After the war ended he survived a crash as the bomber that he was on that was flying back to the US crashed and killed everyone but him. That was technically the 8th crash he survived. Guy was also present at the commando raid on the sub pens in France that killed the majority of the people on the raid. I still cant believe all the stuff he did if anyone deserved to have a movie made about them it was that guy.

Well done I enjoyed this very much

Wow. Awesome show. I had a relative land on D-Day just to the west on Omaha 2nd wave and he lived. I am glad you made this.

Really awesome investigation..congratulations!!
