As the troops Allied troops were being evacuated from Dunkirk, there was only one intact division in England, ready to resist the German onslaught and that was the Canadian division. The Germans however still had to overcome the resistance of the RAF and win control of the skies before they could launch their seaborne invasion of England. Start in London in those heady days on 1940 as the Battle of Britain tightened into a life and death struggle. Slowly the German threat receded and a raid was mounted in 1942 at Dieppe to test the formidable Atlantic wall with questionable results. Finally by 1944 with the Russians pressuring from the east and the Americans alongside the British Empire in Italy and England, the great day arrived - d-day. Visit and relive those sites and days as we travel from London to France and tour Dunkirk, Dieppe, the Normandy Beaches and return across the channel to Portsmouth and London
