The young 'soldier' in khaki on the right at time marker 2:29, is me. Like most of the 'extras' in the fight, we were BYU students, getting $15 a day. My room rent was $18 a month, so it was good pay for 1967. Strange to see this on KZread, so many years later. One student 'extra' fell and was hurt on the mountain and was dropped from the AFROTC. Sometimes I wore an American uniform and sometimes a German uniform. I was commissioned in in 1970 and I served for 10 years, three years in West Germany.. Thanks for posting a memory..

and British!!!

The Canadian's have an outstanding reputation within British military circles. It will never be forgotten that Canada backed Britain from day 1 of both world wars. They cemented their reputation as superb fighting soldiers at Vimy Ridge. During WW2, Canada gave stalwart, essential support to Britain from the very start. Canada played a pivotal role during WW2, which doesn't always receive the recognition it deserves. Post fall of France, the only fully equipped infantry division in Britain was Canadian- ready to defend the country in the event of a German invasion. RCAF pilots fought over France, and played a significant role during the Battle Of Britain. The RCAF made a major contribution to the RAF Bomber Command campaign against Germany. The most important battle for the British during WW2, was the battle of the Atlantic- against the German U-boats. The RCN under went a massive expansion during WW2, culminating in Canada possessing the third largest surface fleet in the world. Despite the RN being the largest navy in the world in 1940-42, the battle of the Atlantic would undoubtedly have been lost without the essential support provided by the RCN. Had Britain lost control of the shipping lanes to the U-boats, we would have been defeated without any doubt. During the Normandy campaign and the liberation of western Europe, the Canadian's sent 300,000 volunteers to fight alongside the British. The Canadians performed superbly, fighting off a heavy counter-attack on D-Day + 2 by 1st SS Panzer Korps- 12th SS Hitler Jugend Div, and 1st Leibstandarte Div. The Canadian's played an essential role in the grinding battles of attrition, which saw the British and Canadian's fight the bulk of the German armoured forces prior to the breakout from Normandy and the collapse of the German defence. The Canadian's also developed the tactics required to capture the heavily defended ports in Belgium and Holland. Post WW2, the RCAF provided Sqns of Sabre fighters to bolster Britain's air defence. In Korea, they once again excelled, and more recently in Afghanistan. Today they are assisting in training the Ukrainian military in the UK. Between 2014 and 2021, a Canadian army training team worked alongside a British Army training team in Ukraine. The Canadians have been stalwart allies to Britain over the years, always reliable, dependable and extremely formidable. Time and again, the Canadian military has taken care of business in the most professional and courageous manner. Canada punches well above it's weight and Canadian's should be immensely proud of the track record and reputation of their military. As a Briton, and ex-soldier, there is nobody I would sooner have on my flank in a tight spot. It was a source of great pride to many British people to see the Canadian military participate in both the funeral of HM Queen Elizabeth II, and the recent coronation of King Charles III. LONG MAY OUR CLOSE ASSOCIATION CONTINUE- *RESPECT!*

Fun fact: Thousands of Americans got into the war before America did by volunteering for Canadian regiments. Hungry for manpower, Canada and Britain chose to take no notice. America pretended not to notice either, but when they entered the war themselves they asked for their men back and the British and Canadians agreed. These men proved valuable as experienced men to help to train the hordes of draftees the US was trying to quickly kludge together into something one could call an army.

For the while we were the underdogs, not as disciplined as other militaries, not as well equipped, and at times not the sharpest tool in the shed, but we used what we had and used it the best we could. It really wasn't until the early 20th century when we finally came into our own and became a superpower able to compete with the rest of the world... granted we did things our own way (still do in most cases). There, that might be why we became so effective. We are never content with the "status quo" and as a whole we hate being dictated to. I will be the first to admit that more often than not we let our pride turn to arrogance and it doesn't sit well with the rest of the world... we're working on it though, but we have to do it on our own by our own terms.

Canaduh bravado/BS. All UK and Commonwealths were totally dependent on America, India and other allies, they never won a war alone. Their battle wins were after their enemies were at their weakest from ALLIED fighting, nearly defeated then claimed of how "heroic" they were. Churchill was crying to America for help and got it, Britain was bankrupt and on the cusp of defeat and it was the French (who surrendered in 6 weeks) that saved the UK, Commonwealth forces at Dunkirk...there's a YT video on it, that shows how weak they were. "Over 87,000 Indian troops, and 3 million civilians died in World War II.[2][3] Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, former Commander-in-Chief, India, stated that Britain "couldn't have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn't had the Indian Army."[4][5]"

This quote has been attributed to being said by many different people and there is about 20 version of it depending on which country you're from. The one I originally heard was "If you British Intelligence, American Logistics, German weapons and Australian/New Zealand soldiers you would have the worlds greatest Army". I'm not saying Canadians didn't do punch well above their weight in all their conflicts, I am sure there are many famous quotes that sum up their capacity, I'm just saying that his particular quote is bogus. Three quotes attributed to Erwin Rommel that are accurately sourced, one is already listed by another commenter, the other two are: "If I had to take hell, I would use the Australians to take it and the New Zealanders to hold it". "If I'd had one division of Maori, I would have taken the canal in a week. If I'd had three, I'd have taken Baghdad." - Erwin Rommel, on the Australians and New Zealanders after facing an Australian-New Zealand infantry division in North Africa

Technically speaking, we were there on day 7. During WWI, the entire British Empire (including Canada) was automatically brought into the war as soon as Britain declared war. During WWII Canada made a point to wait very slightly (one week) to declare war after Britain entered the war, to make a point that we were entering the war by our own will as our own nation to help our allies in their time of need, rather than being pulled into the war as a British Dominion. And once we had, we were indeed there to back up said allies to the end.

my great-grandpa used to be the son of German immigrants in Canada (his parents moved in Quebec, or lower-Canada back then, in the 1890's). He was just in the right age to serve both wars in the Canadian army. (something 16 in 1917-18) He once told me an anecdote about how the Germans would laugh at anything talking french on the front until they heard the typical french Canadian slurs (Osti, Calisse, Tabarnack) at which point they would cower... From his recalling, apparently, if a German soldier killed enough Frenchmen, they would return to their trench and that would be it... however Canadians would just accelerate the pace, swear more and if they ever reached the german trench, you'd witness some of goriest use of a bayonet (most French-Canadians we not volunteers in WWI, but conscripted in a war they had no stakes in. Many had, as a result, a lot of pent up anger to express. And the majority were farmers and quite used to use a pitchfork, which reflected in their handling of the bayonet.) I have long dismissed that anecdote as some wishful thinking of a 90+-year-old veteran... but, after reading about Leo Major, I wonder if there were not more truth to his ramblings. Hearing someone from the opposite camp correlate his anecdote made me reconsider it.

I always found it perplexing that french Canadians would opt and bastardize religious terms and use them as swear words, while a big chunk of the rest of the world would instead use bodily functions and sex words for that. One theory I had was due to the silent revolution in the 70's were the French Canadians grew tired of religion's control on society and ended up using them to spite it. But that theory holds little ground when we consider that, apparently, we were using them since at least the early 1900's, long before the silent revolution. Another theory rely on the fact that the French spoken by French Canadians is closer to 1600's or 1700's French than the current cosmopolitan French spoken in France, in big part due to the cessation of interactions between Quebec and France after the 7 years war (French-Indian war for the Americans). Perhaps that's how people were cursing back in those days.

'39 and there was no draft or conscription after war was declared, meaning that approx. 950,000 volunteered to fight for King and country.

My grandmother, his daughter, only met him once. She was 2 years old. We have 1 photo. She never talked about him, or her life before coming to Canada in 1947. My Mom was 13. Her father was Black Watch. Spent most of WW2 in a prison camp in Poland. I have to believe that these men did what they did for a reason. After WW2, the family came to Canada.

I am irresistibly reminded of Alden Nowlan's poem, Ypres 1915--"The Canadians are marching/ In English uniforms behind/ A piper playing 'Scotland the Brave'/The Canadians are marching/ In impeccable formation/ Every man in step..."

Love those pipes. I marched to these in the 90s in the aussie reserves. Very powerful ancestral vibes.

All due respect to Canada. Stay strong folks and all the best from GB.

Here's your British pride... Canaduh bravado/BS. All UK and Commonwealths were totally dependent on America, India and other allies, they never won a war alone. Their battle wins were after their enemies were at their weakest from ALLIED fighting, nearly defeated then claimed of how "heroic" they were. Churchill was crying to America for help and got it, Britain was bankrupt and on the cusp of defeat and it was the French (who surrendered in 6 weeks) that saved the UK, Commonwealth forces at Dunkirk...there's a YT video on it, that shows how weak they were. "Over 87,000 Indian troops, and 3 million civilians died in World War II.[2][3] Field Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, former Commander-in-Chief, India, stated that Britain "couldn't have come through both wars [World War I and II] if they hadn't had the Indian Army."[4][5]"

The people of Zwolle(sp?) have a civic holiday for one Leo Majere, the Canadian who single-handedly liberated their town from the German regiment in occupation. In an interview with him about that event he talked about his buddy from day 1 of basic, assigned to the same unit that was killed while on patrol that night. This set him off, he was angry and wanted the Germans to kill him also so he went after them and they ran.

I have a great uncle that was killed while serving with the First Special Service Force (my maternal grandfather served with the Canadian Armoured forces and landed on Normandy 3 days after June 6 - his brother) so this movie has always had a special meaning for me.... Those men were TOUGH, and the German Army found that out the hard way...

My American brothers. And sisters. My uncle Bill was a 101st Canadian battalion asked from Anzio to the Devils Brigade. You are my family. Fortress North America. My acre, your acre. Never give up, never surrender.

This always makes me feel proud to be Canadian and to be able to serve our Country.

If it weren't for Canada, the war would have been lost before December 7, 1941. They contributed a disproportionate number of casualties and war dead, manufactured almost every vehicle used by the Empire in the war, and shipped the food that kept England alive. Together with the Aussies, New Zealanders, and fighting men from around the globe, they were responsible for our freedom today. We American's owe them a debt that can never be repaid... if there were no England, where would we have launched the invasion from? Where could we have launched our bombing raids from?

Believe at one point Canada alone was outproducing Germany in motorized vehicles. And the Long Branch Enfields were the best of the lot (own one) During the war my grandad was a merchant mariner in the Esso fleet. Most of their escorts in '42 and '43 were Canadian Navy. At that point they were far more confident in the Canadians given they had almost three years experience while the USN was still learning.

Vimy Ridge. WWI. The French tried, the English tried, Canadian forces succeeded. The battlefield now has the beautiful Vimy Ridge memorial as a salute to Canadian bravery.

@OldWolflad

Vimy is a bit exaggerated, to be fair it was meticulously planned by Currie and preceded by at least a week of the the heaviest artillery bombardment three times heavier than previously used. 83% of German gun posts (186 out of 217) were knocked out by the bombardment and much of their supply chain. The Germans referred to the bombardment as "the week of misery" and were said to be demoralised and exhausted. Canadian divisions also had one machine gun to every 13 men, whereas British divisions only had one machine gun to every sixty-one men. So yes the Canadians kicked ass, but they didn't face anything like the same enemy the French, British, and ANZACs had faced at Rimy. The reality of the Battle of Vimy Ridge is much more complex. Despite what most Canadians have come to believe, the battle was not won by the feat of Canadian arms alone. The Canadian units that stormed the ridge were amply supported in their assault by British Imperial forces. Over half of the artillery that paved the way for the assaulting Canadian infantry was either British or Australian. Moreover, the Canadians were aided before, during, and after the assault by troops from a variety of Allied nations. Operating on the Canadians’ right, the British 51st Highland Division, for example, captured the southern shoulder of the ridge. In the air, support was provided, in part, by Royal Flying Corps. Likewise, much of the underground system of galleries and tunnels that famously hid and protected the Canadian troops before the assault had been either dug or improved by New Zealand and British tunnellers. Most importantly, it was the Canadian Corps’ higher formation, the British First Army, which provided the Corps with the extensive logistical support it needed to successfully prosecute its mission. Nor was the Canadian Corps a purely Canadian formation. In addition to containing the Canadian divisions, the Corps also included the British 5th Division in its order of battle. Moreover, all four Canadian divisions had British units attached to them. In the case of the 2nd Canadian Division the units attached - and directly involved in the assault - included the British 5th Division’s 13th Infantry Brigade and eight tanks. If this were not enough, the Canadian Corps’ commander - and one of the major architects of the “Canadian” victory at Vimy - was a British officer, Lieutenant-General Sir Julian Byng. In fact, of the 172,486 men attached to Canadian Corps for the assault on Vimy Ridge 75,302 (43.7%) did not come from Canadian formations, and over 50% of the Canadian soldiers involved were British-born anyway. More broadly, the Canadian attack on Vimy Ridge was not - despite what many Canadians believe - a standalone battle. Rather, it was only one part of the larger Battle of Arras (9 April - 16 May 1917). In this battle, three British armies - the First, the Third and the Fifth - attacked German positions along an approximately 24-kilometre front running from Vimy Ridge in the north west to Bullecourt in the south east. Part of the wider Anglo-French Nivelle Offensive, the Battle of Arras was intended to draw German attention and troops away from what the Allies hoped would be a decisive French assault at Chemin des Dames Ridge some 80 kilometres to the south. While the Canadian attack at Vimy was the most successful part of the Battle of Arras, the initial gains made by the British forces across the rest of the front of the battle were equally impressive. In the first two days, some British units attached to the Third Army advanced as much as five kilometres into German-held territory. This was the deepest penetration by Allied forces into German-held territory since the beginning of trench warfare. Although the British advance bogged down due to a combination of over-stretched supply lines and the arrival of German reinforcements, the significance of the British achievement should not be downplayed. The Third Army had graphically demonstrated that the British were more than capable of breaking the German line. It should also be noted that British attacks to the north and the south of the Canadians meant the Germans did not have the luxury of shifting units in force to reinforce their beleaguered defenders on Vimy Ridge. The Germans’ ability to reinforce their Vimy garrison was also hindered by their knowledge of the forthcoming French offensive at Chemin des Dames. Aerial observation and information obtained from French prisoners of war had alerted the Germans to French preparations for the offensive. The Germans reacted accordingly, moving significant amounts of men and material to reinforce their defences in front of the French. On 7 April - just two days before the Canadians attacked at Vimy - the Germans assessed, based on increased French artillery activity, that a French assault was imminent. French shelling further increased on 9 April, causing the Germans to move reserves into the second and third lines of defense opposite the French. These reserves - and some of the over 2,000 artillery pieces the Germans had around Chemin des Dames - could have tipped the scale at Vimy if the Germans had been free to use them against the Canadians. As it was, the Germans decimated the attacking French forces - a result that played no small part in the mutinies that the French Army suffered starting in May 1917. The belief that the Canadian Corps succeeded where French formations had failed also requires contextualisation. It is true that the Canadian Corps successfully took and held Vimy Ridge while the French had not. However, if it were not for the preceding French and British actions the Canadian Corps would not have been in a position to launch its successful assault. Once in late 1914, and twice in 1915, the French had attempted to retake the ridge. Although they failed to do so, suffering over 150,000 casualties in the process, they did move the frontlines closer to the base of the ridge. If they had not, the Canadian Corps would have been forced to fight across a much greater span of open ground to reach the ridge.

The French gave Vimy Ridge to Canada and it is the only place that you can see the trenches in France. My Grandfather was at Vimy Ridge and I was told that he was a chain smoker and the rule was that you had to go out of the trench and far away from the trenches to smoke so that the flash of the match wouldn't be seen by the enemy and point out where the trenches were. Well he obeyed the rule and went out of the trench and went a good distance from the trenches and had his cigarette, when he came back to his trench all his comrades were dead. The enemy had bombed their trench. If he hadn't gone for that cigarette, he would never have met my grandmother and go on to have seven children, 25 grandchildren, and even more great-grandchildren. I cannot say enough about the soldiers who bravely fight for our freedom.
