Hitler's Canadians
Just caught the program, "Hitler's Canadians", on History Channel last night.
The program featured the story of German POWs interned in Canadian camps right here on our soil. It was really interesting to note how well Canadian authorities took care of their captives; fresh foods, lots of it, all kinds of sports activities. Really it appeared as if they were attending summer camp. The common opinion from these ex-prisoners was that the conditions were superior here, so much so that at least 6000 of them returned to Canada after their repatriation to Germany. I found it interesting to note that it was filmed here in Ontario and a certain "jeep guy" and his ontourage made up the inhabitants of the re-enacted camps. Lots of screen time for Marcus and quite a convincing roll... Obviously locals portrayed Canadian Army guards as well. If you missed it, certainly worth watching. Good to see History Channel keeping things interesting.
