Much of this was also down to General Arthur Currie, a Canadian General thought to be probably the most competent of the allies. He used tactics such as small groups of attacking men, well armed, encouraged to be indipendant and using cover instead of attacking in waves. The Germans later referred to them as 'shock troops' and used this same tactic the following year in their spring offensive.

Many of those statements still hold true to this day. The fact is that Canada has a rather small military. As a direct result, a very large portion of military personnel are trained to be able to handle a far wider range of roles than your average American soldier. That versatility is part of what makes the Canadian military is.

My Grandfather's older brother died in Holten Netherlands in May 1945. He helped liberate Belgium and the Netherlands. I wish I could've met him. The way my grandfather talks about him, he seemed fearless and driven to help those in need. He's buried in the Canadian Military Cemetary in Holten, Netherlands.

I feel that its important to note here that during both wars much of Canada was still very much a frontier. Many of our soldiers and officers came from farms on these frontiers and had previous experience with firearms, fighting and extreme weather (in places like Manitoba it regularly gets to -40 degrees.) So many of the challenges most soldiers who come from large urban spralls face weren't there for our boys. We were already adjusted to harsh conditions.

The city, Zwolle, now has a street named after him so that his heroic deed will always be remembered there.

Major Currie commanded the combined Amour (Tank), Anti-Amour and Infantry force .Currie displayed outstanding leadership and is an inspiration and was critical to the success of the combined force during this battle. The Infantry soldiers who fought in this courageous battle lead by Currie, were the same troops that burned down the German town (Friesoythe) you previously mentioned. It is worth mentioning, the evacuated town (Friesoythe) was levelled for 2 reasons: 1) retribution 2) to use as material to rebuild the marshy roads so the heavy tanks, trucks and supplies could continue the advance of the allied forces. Without repair and reinforcement to the road, the forces would be bottlenecked and would be vulnerable to attack thus stopping the advance further in to Germany.

If I'm not wrong, there is an excellent story to be told of Australian and Canadian troops serving side by side in Korea. I would find a telling of that very interesting. Also appreciated is the honest telling of the Canadians less than stellar behaviour in WW1, that gets glossed over here.

Canadians were known for collecting the severed, dried ear-lobes of their enemies and making necklaces out of them - sometimes they would collect these while listening to the enemy's false confessions. Canadians would also use the the mixture of blood and mud as camouflage. It was said that the blood of the soil would give ungodly strength as they hid amongst the corpses, often mistaken for death's golems, before rising from the earth and collecting more ear lobes.

@plantscatspiercings

MY God, if this is true

You have to understand that Canadians are very similar to many other cultures when it comes to the Urban / Rural divide. The Canadian stereotype starts to dissolve the further you go north. In the north thick skin is useful for more than cold weather and mosquitoes. Visitors to Canada typically stick to the larger southern cities and don't experience the "other" Canadian culture, they would be quite shocked if they were dropped into a typically forestry town. During WW1 and WW2 Canada was mostly rural, so a lot of our soldiers were taken from that stock. Also, our soldiers are heirs to the British military tradition, but we aren't burdened by the British class system. As a result our officers and NCO's typically get to their positions based on merit rather than class and wealth. That might be a reason why Canadian troops are known for flexibility and creativity.

Add in a slowly growing but powerful sense of cultural and national identity at the time as well, in WWI we were still a British colony but we were starting to view ourselves as Canadians first and British colonists second. It's why we joined WWII late, just to try and prove a point about us being our own people. The points on Canada's military flexibility are valid, but Canada also has a relatively small army, so the flexibility is to help compensate for a possible deficit in manpower.

as a Canadian i just want to say im sorry for the wars

Brutality and bravery, in war, are two sides of the same coin. Nobody ever won a war by being a "good guy".

_"A warring nation Canada is not, though a nation of warriors she has sometimes been forced to become."_ -Pierre Berton, *The Invasion of Canada 1812-1813*

Pierre Burton wrote a wonderful book called “Vimy” which I bought decades ago. I’d written an essay on Vimy Ridge in grade 9 and it got me an A+. When I heard of the book, bought it immediately. Great book, great author and another great Canadian!

I am a Canadian and a Vet. Thank you for that video. Many people don’t know what it’s like to have Canadians mad at them, because there aren’t many left when we are done with them. In WWl, (Google Newfoundland dog), the Royal Newfoundland Regiment brought their enormous Newfoundland dogs with them and set them on the Germans. The Germans were terrified screaming, “The Canadians are sending bears after us”, due to the enormous size of the dogs. They were afraid of we Canadians as it was, due to our reputation while being used as “Shock Troops”, and now bears too! God, I love that story. Thanks again! Cheers. 🇨🇦

See, that's the thing though. It's very easy for us to be polite. We just have a little switch somewhere deep in our minds that have the options of : Conquer lands and slaughter all, & Just nice enough so that they don't catch on.

Epigenetics. We were fortunate enough to have such a high percentage of amazing dna. These warriors still exist across Canada, and given the right circumstances, to the surprise of even themselves, they will rise to the call.
