Another interesting note; Canadian authorities merely guarded the camps; the Germans ran their own affairs including discipline etc. It is well known fact that several POWs were murdered by their own (SS and sworn Nazi party officers) for their political ideas, that being anti-Hitler for instance.
In Bowmanville , inmates rioted against the guards and a melee ensued; the Germans figured that their disobediance would be met with bullets and teargas; instead the guards sorted it out the old fasioned, manly way, man on man, fisticuffs. This gained the guards a great respect from their captives.
