Our tale starts in the Thirties,
in a climate of poverty and
political instability. Through
violence and terror, Nazi Germany
attempted to impose its iron
rule on Europe. In September
1939, Canada declared the state
of war. Standing up for its
allies and summoning all its
human, industrial and financial
resources in an ongoing war
effort, Canada mobilized the
mightiest military force in
its history. At sea, on land
and in the air, Canada was involved
in the great campaigns that
led to the fall of the German
Reich and brought back peace.
Events recalls the highlights
of WWII as experienced by Canadians.
