To: Right Wing Assault
I know and do business with a number of Canadians who chose to live here as the gov't of Canada is insane (or so they say)

Here's a typical example: After Germany surrendered in May of 1945, a group of German POWs approached the Canadian POW camp commander.

"Sir we need to borrow some rifles and bullets to execute deserters", they said.

"Okay", said the Canadian.

"Oh kind sire, could you lend us an armed escort so the Dutch civilians won't interfere?", they asked.

(The deserters had lived amongst the Dutch until the war was over. Naturally once the Germans were defanged everyone in Holland became a 'resistance fighter' and rounded up German deserters.)

Totally illegal and immoral by both international and Canadian law, but that's Canada ......

The Canada Army was unaware that we (the Allies) had dropped about 140,000,000 leaflets promising safe conduct and return home if soldiers would desert.

Always, there's somebody that don't get the memo.

You’re referring to the German military court that executed the two German deserters, Dorfer and Beck , a week after the war ended ?
