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. |
