COASTAL DEFENCES

This low-level photo taken on May 19, 1944, by a US Army Air Forces reconnaissance aircraft shows a section of Juno Beach at Courseulles-sur-Mer, France, where the Canadians landed on D-Day. Visible is the harbour as well as one of the main German bunkers on the harbour’s west side. The bunker remains there today, while the Juno Beach Centre now sits in what was the open field behind it.
