This was a very interesting lecture. Thank you. I look forward to more in the future. The modern CAF still has lessons to learn from research and experimentation done at Fort Churchill.

Thank you. Another great talk that shines a light on the hard work invested into the knowledge base during this period.

This video would be a lot better if they took out the background music.

You and your pro - "kanadian" fucking propaganda can fuck off.

I hope the book is better than the lecture.

For a country of with a relatively small population, Canada fought above it's weight in all areas of the war. The RCAF provided a large number of fighter pilots and had the 6th Bomber Group. The Canadian Army ( 1st Canadian Army divided into the 1st and 2nd Corps) fought hard and long in Italy, at Juno Beach in Normandy and the hard fighting in Northwest Europe. The RCN became the 3rd largest navy in the war. Many Canadians served with great distinction and Canadians earned many medals including 16 Victoria Crosses.

My granfather is alvin bossenberry he was squadron leader of the 408 goose squadron if anyone can send me any info to learn more please do

Waterloo Lutheran Univ? There were more Canadians in RAF units than in RCAF Units unfortunately. However, many rose to leadership roles for expanding the RCAF. Stocky Edwards for example was one of the best.

Terry Copp, in one of his hallmarks, tackles a complex subject and relates it in a clear and thoughtful manner. Perhaps most salient of all is his reference to Collingwood near the end that it is the historian’s (and I would say also the general reader of military history) to “think the thoughts of past actions” and not superimpose our later understanding of events. The role of air power in the Normandy campaign deserves nothing less.

I've been studying this era for my own personal curiosity and know quite a lot thanks to the internment legacy fund - they have all the internment camps and each has archived news clippings from the papers of that time. When you mentioned that 106 internees were placed into institutions afterward, my heart broke. It was an aspect of the war that I had nelected to consider. Thank you for bring that sensitive topic into your documentary. It's important.

Why is your book $182?

Excellent présentation. Merci Caroline! Nunquam Retrorsum

Sounds like a grade 5 schoolgirl's social justice critique of the RCAF...pretty lame...I love the RCAF and the role it has played....my dad flew Spits during the war...this subject deserves a much more professional effort.

Only a Canadian educational institution could take an insanely awesome subject and make it fucking boring. Bye.

Leo Major (Regimente de La Chaudiere) was nominated by his CO for the Victoria Cross (VC) after his single-handed exploits in capturing/liberating the Dutch town of Zwolle, which was subsequently turned down by other senior officers (Not including FM Montgomery) & subsequently recommended the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal) instead, that is one tier lower than either the Victoria or George Crosses that have equal topmost standing in order of rank of British & Commonwealth medals & insignias for supreme valour or supreme meritorious service. No official reasons were ever forthcoming for denying Major the VC or downgrading his medal application to the DCM, which is still the second highest award for extreme valour available to all all ranks in the British & Commonwealth Armed Forces then! It was well known that Major regarded Montgomery & his senior commanders with almost contempt, branding Montgomery as an incompetent amongst other detracting things! Equally, it was also known that the Field Marshal would brook no dissent or opposition towards any of his well formulated plans or deeply held views on anything & he was also known for being able to harbour grudges & being vindictive at times in such situations, hence you could quite easily see that someone wanted to avoid a confrontation or clash of personalities or opinions or both! Incidentally, nearly a decade later when Major reenlisted into the Canadian Army to fight in the Korean War - 1950-53, he was awarded another DCM (DCM & Bar) for similar courageous acts there then too!! He subsequently also earned the reputation & the sobriquet amongst his legion of admirers as, “Le Rambo Quebecois! - the Quebec Rambo” For his legendary valorous deeds throughout his military career!

In the question and answer section, there is a question if spiritualism is a rejection of technology. A number of books including discussions with HG Wells and others viewed spiritualism and the spirit world as possible as the atom, or electons. New sciences were being developed and expanded constantly so as we could suddenly prove how light waves worked, could we not also prove that spirits actually existed. So I've viewed the burst of belief in spiritualism in the late 1800s and into the war years as not a rejection of technology but looked at as a possible technology that could be properly evaluated and tested.

1:22:00 Perfectly said. As bad as the Allied armies were, we won, and many times critical events were led by Canadians.

We have certainly not forgotten the Canadians. Nor have we forgotten my grandfather's regiment The Royal Ulster Rifles. We just love you guys as we love our own.

UBI will fix nothing

Fuck that , I already pay for too many losers!

Most of the Canadian History, and in particular our military history, I have learned since graduating from University in 1990.

UBI is a good idea but we also have to deal with the Mental Health issues that propagate through poverty. We have to address the $B in cuts that have taken place over the last 15 years. It was a time that saw the release of unprepared institutionalized patients. Healing from poverty should encompass the whole of the person.

It's only useful to control the citizens. If you can't support yourself in this country, you need welfare. The majority of people are very capable of thriving

The reason UBI will NEVER happen in Canada is that it takes away the ability of politicians to pander to groups. Politicians HATE universality because it eliminates their ability to indulge their favourite group of the day. And no one loves pandering more than the selfie-obsessed empty suit that currently holds the top post.

Spoiler alert, it does. kzbin.info/aero/PL79EeOg8kw88SOdLseAX0CMNxKI9Ng8WO

spoiler... it doesnt

Cannot wait for this website to become available. 😊

Just worked out I've more books by Terry than any other historian - and I'm not even Canadian! 🇨🇦

Go Terry!

Is there a data base of these prisoners, in particular the Ukrainians sent to northern Ontario, more specifically Chapleau?

I do not believe that the "people" who are leaving comments sub this video really exist. Or, if they are "real," they have been recruited to leave this effusive and contrived commentary These videos are nothing more than Masonic/zionist propaganda. The degree of "historical" "accuracy" expressed within the context of these videos is exceedingly biased. One may as well watch reruns of the "Hogan's Heroes" television program that aired in the 1960's ad 1970's. The statements uttered by this moron are false, fraudulent and utterly without foundation.

absolutely fabulous; the knowledge that Ted has & imparts so effortlessly is to be commended ; much appreciated thank you

Wonderful presentation! I'll be passing this along to a number of Twitter friends in the RCN encouraging them to present to all personnel of the RCN. Your energy an passion for this subject comes through in spades!

"kanada," "kanada," "kanada," "Kanada." This video is nothing more than an excuse to use and deploy the terms "kanada." and "kanadian" as often as possible. This channel is nothing more than federalist propaganda. Discuss the "brave" and "courageous" "kanadian" "soldiers" who raped and murdered the wives and daughters of the Boer bush rangers. Who fought the English take over of the Cape Colony between 1899 - 1902. The wives and children of the Boer Freedom Fighters met the "brave" and "courageous" "kanadian" soldiers" with tea and coffee. And then they were then told to leave their homestead. The buildigs were then burnt dow. The cattle were either stolen or killed. And their well was filled or dynamited. An "history" to be proud of. Particularly morons such as the pseudo "academic" pseudo "intellectual" masonic imbecile in the image supra.

Maybe someone at the Laurier Centre can explain something for me. In "Stopping the Panzers: The Untold Story of D Day" Dr. Marc Milner of the University of New Brunswick states unequivocally that General George Patton was _not_ the most feared of Allied generals by the Germans prior to D Day. Can someone square up Terry Copp's statement that Patton _was_ the most feared by the Germans with Dr. Marc Milner's statement that Patton was merely a mostly _unknown quantity_ to them, and that Patton's large reputation has been read backwards into the historical account prior to the Normandy campaign by post-WW2 American historians? 🤔🤷‍♂ Moreover, I have _never_ heard anyone other than Terry Copp state that Rommel thought the Allies would land at the Pas de Calais. Virtually every other historian has stated, in the last 25 years anyway, that Rommel thought the Allies would land in Normandy. Here I am only 20 minutes into this presentation and I am finding contradictions between Terry Copp's account of D Day and everyone else's that I know of. 🤔🤨 Alas, another seemingly unresolvable statement from Mr. Copp is that General Montgomery knew little of the plan to invade Normandy on D Day and was just a cheerleader, yet Montgomery was the general who drew up the invasion plans! This is getting to be quite unhappy and I'm only at the 34 minute mark. I am not trying to be unduly critical of Mr. Copp's account, and I am not a professional historian, but the discrepancies are really there! 🤨 I believe Mr. Copp's criticisms of Colonel Stacey and his account of the Canadian army on D Day and throughout the rest of the campaign until victory in May 1945 are quite valid. From what I understand of Colonel Stacey, he never once even set foot on mainland Europe during WW2 and relied exclusively on regimental reports and the such to fashion what he wrote of the Canadian army. This is unacceptably bad and his book should, IMHO, be withdrawn from publication and only serve as an example of how _not_ to write about this campaign.

Very nice presentation of our RCN history, thank you for sharing. Cheers

David O’Keefe is brilliant. Love this presentation.

I found my grandpas journal for WW2. He was a tail gunner in a bomber and was credited with 2 shoot downs for the battle of britain and 1 on DDAY

So honest, informative, and yes, illuminating. Floored by the level of understanding on all subjects mentioned.

skill issue

Excellent presentation! Its really good to hear from our Canadian brothers-in-arms about SWW. I don't think most Americans or possibly other Commonwealth members have any idea on the contributions of these brave men.

Talk begins at 8:19

Wow, I am impressed with this video. Very well done and very interesting to learn more about an event in World War 2 that people from my home town participated in. It really brought the event to life for me and deepened my appreciation for remembrance day ceremonies. It also brings to light how people who lived in the geographic area of the events still are so affected by the events of the war.

Great presentation by Terry, even if the sound cut out at times. Did the Montreal Irish join up in any great numbers for the Second World War ?

The sound sure cut on poor Terry a lot during the presentation.

My Uncle Russell Desjardins died at Welberg Nov 2 along with 4 of his crew in a tank across from the Eklingburg Farm, wonderful job Robert thank you for your work. Thank you to you all for this video.
