The Nazis did indeed fear and respect Canada.

[NEMO]

That wasn't always Canada's defense philosophy. At one time, when it
came to defending liberty and democracy, Canada punched way above its
weight class, and the Free World was thankful.

Prior to Pearl Harbor, while the United States hid behind the false
wall of "neutrality," Canada confronted with armed force the cultural
and political threat of fascist tyrants. At the end of World War II,
Canada had the world's third-largest navy. In 2006, despite having the
globe's second-largest nation in terms of landmass, Canada deploys
only three dozen or so warships and naval support vessels. Over a
million Canadians served during World War II, out of a population of
12 million. Today, the expeditionary military that Nazi Germany feared
must juggle troops and equipment to sustain two battalion-sized task
forces in an overseas deployment.

The Nazis did indeed fear and respect Canada. From Sicily to Normandy
and on into Germany, veteran Canadian divisions often formed the "hard
core" of an allied thrust. That wasn't a conspiracy by London to "let
the colonials be cannon fodder" -- it was recognition of Canadian
military capabilities and fighting spirit.

Canada's military continues to attract outstanding men and women.

I have yet to meet or serve with a Canadian soldier who failed to
impress me with his professionalism and discipline. In my experience
-- in terms of individual, quality personnel -- only Australian troops
match Canadians on a one-for-one basis.

Canada punched way above its weight class when it told me, "No defense
to Soviet missiles, no defense at all."

I responded, "Colonel, survival is above your pay grade. Convince me
that you deserve to exist as a strength in the Free World. And the
river will rise up."

"Because according to the Pentagon, if Canada falls the United States
hAs no water reserves."

"If I could help you I would, except that I am a senator which means
I only care about polluting rainforests and faurting at McDonald's."

"What about Star Wars?"

"It's too late..."

"What about Sonne Korosht."

"It's too late..."

"What about Adolf?"

IT S TOO LATE

World War II ended in 1945. The Canadians made the Nazis fear in 2006.

it s TOO LATE...

There were two divisions of paratroopers that were Canadian.

Now you are talking.

What about Star Wars?

being a Dominion in the British Commonwealth, Canadians are obligated
to England and will help fight their wars.
Without the USA, Canada, England and the rest of Europe would have
continued to severely beaten by the Germans.

Wow except for Nemo, this whole page is a grand example of American ignorance of the world around them. How can you be so utterly ignorant? Oh I forgot, you are from a country that prides yourself on knowing nothing of the rest of the world and just lapping up the jingoistic doctrine fed to you from birth onward. I won't even bother recounting any of the history as none of you except Nemo are smart enough to maybe CHECK before making preposterous statements that prove why the world thinks Americans are such egotistical idiots.

I see that you don't understand the outcome was circumstantial to when and why America stepped in. Everyone who stepped up to the plate (against an incredibly brilliant monster who either poisoned the weak and ignorant minded or completely fooled the rest of his nation) against them are the reason the war was won. America and Russia alone? America didn't even step in until Japan attacked. What about the fact the Britain after being offered peace from Germany over and over stood up and said hell no and stood for what's right despite the consequences. A leader who inspired a nation on a moral level to keep fighting no matter what. If it weren't for Britain standing for a moral principle do you really think that would have been the same? It wasn't two nations against one but the good vs evil and unfortunately the manipulated minds of a lot of innocent people. America and Russia played a big role but so did a lot of nations and they gave a lot of lives for the win as well. Please don't take away from any of the people who sacrificed for that win.
