June - December 1944. V-1 rockets, and later V-2s, rain death and destruction on Britain; their launching sites are mopped up by Canadians advancing on Pas de Calais. The Third Division spearheads the attack on the Scheldt estuary. Germans make a last-ditch stand in the Battle of the Bulge. In the English Channel, Canadian sailors man swift motor torpedo boats against German E-boats.

School subjects
Compare and contrast World War I and II: “blitz” warfare compared to the war of attrition fought in the trenches. Students will understand the role of technology and innovation in modern warfare. Examine the role of ideology, the rise of Fascism and Communism in Europe. Seeing soldiers return to northern France and Flanders, the Western Front of WWI, students will discuss why someone would volunteer for war, especially the sons of those who fought in a war as horrifying as WWI.
