Introduction: The website 'Critical Past' has an extensive collection of videos and still images, and many concern significant events during WW2 in which Canadians in Combined Operations were involved. A price tag is attached to high-resolution videos and stock images but one can find access to the same material in low-resolution video but with the website's title displayed in the centre.
Please note: The above photo and the video (link) presented may not be concerned with the same troops at the same location.
