    when I was a boy I asked my father who was in the RAF who were the toughest solders he ever saw during the war, his answer was the Canadians , straight away.

    Beautiful, and simply substantial that these men were able to smile, despite knowing that it could have been their last. The Canadian soldier is a powerful soldier!

    the videos and commentary truly give one an idea of how brave these men were. Wished I had seen this before my father in law passed away. He landed in Normandy but said very little about his experiences. Thank you Don!

    These were real men! Young, strong, athletic and driven by a purpose. Doubt if any are still alive (maybe one or two at most). God rest their souls.
