Experience the untold story of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion during Operation Varsity, the largest single-day airborne assault of World War II. This 15-minute documentary dives into how Canadian paratroopers fought through intense flak, hidden German defenses, and brutal close-quarters combat as Allied forces crossed the Rhine on March 24, 1945.

Discover the real events behind the loss of Lt. Col. Jeff Nicklin, the heroic actions of Corporal Frederick Topham—awarded the Victoria Cross—and the fierce battles against elements of the German Fallschirmjäger.
This video is perfect for viewers interested in WW2 history, Canadian military history, Allied airborne operations, and rare stories from the closing months of the war.
Stay to the end to understand how Operation Varsity helped crack open the Ruhr and accelerate the collapse of Nazi Germany.
