Which beach did Canadians storm?

Juno Sword Utah Gold

Correct Answer:

Juno

Explanation:

On D-Day, Canadians stormed Juno Beach, one of the five Allied landing sectors in Normandy. It was assigned to Canadian forces, making it the beach where Canadian infantry and supporting armor hit the shore and began pushing inland. The assault faced strong German fortifications and heavy fire, and overcoming those defenses helped set the stage for the broader breakout into occupied France. The other beaches were assigned to different Allied nations: Utah and Omaha to the Americans, and Sword and Gold to the British.
