Diving off shore from Juno Beach

[Jon Skagfeld]

Just finished watching the "Sea Hunters" episode, as reported above by John McGillvary.

Overall opinion: B+.

Detractions which caused me to bristle and invoke the usual: from my wife:

Some Dieppe landing shots were interspersed with D Day landing shots. This was particularly off-putting and historically inaccurate.

Also inaccurate was the implication that the Canadian floating Command Post HQ, aboard HMS Lawford, was bombed by Ju 87 Stuka dive bombers. IIRC, only Priller and his wingman did one pass over the beaches. (Icould be wrong here, but the implication was that Ju 87s were used during the landings...I don't think that is correct).

Scene at Abbeye d'Ardenne probably demands a program all to itself. (This is where some 20 Canadian soldiers were murdered by the SS).

Anyway, highly recommended for viewing; the participation of the Canadian Navy, with their side scan capabilities, made the location of wrecks and subsequent scenes possible.
