I'm finding out more about my fathers role in WW2 ... and this information I share with you all because of it's tie in with my Uncle Ed's story. Uncle Eddie was my Mom's brother.
I don't know which German POWS my father may have dealt with here in Canada ... but read on ... this makes me wonder, of course, about any links between any of the POWS my dad "escorted" and the executions of any of our 156 Canadian Soldiers. What is the likelihood?
My Father:he spent the entire war at Camp Shilo in
Manitoba....he was a sergeant in the P.P.C.L.I. and was an instructor. He also had the dubious job of going to Halifax to meet German P.O.W.s and
escorting them to their various posts in Canada. He was never sent overseas because he was next to 4F as he had flat feet.
The above info is all I know so far.
