I know, I used to really let it fly but it's not worth it sometimes. Plus, some of the guys here from the U.S are pretty good guys and I edited my post in respect to them.divebomber wrote:I know that Goebbels talked about Canada i can not remember where.Lawrence i noticed you edited a sentence do not apologize for somebodys ignorance.
The Canadian Prime Minister King was warmly recieved by hitler in the 1930's as a guest and supposedly the two of them got along famously for their brief visit. Hitler even gave King an autographed portrait of himself as a gift of friendship.
King was very impressed with Hitler, and spoke highly of him until Hitler began his more aggressive policies regarding Czechoslovakia and Poland.
p.s. were were in the thick of things from day one!

Arcand's Fascist party in the early days
Hello,
Adrien (don't get any ideas!!!!) Arcand's National Social Christian Party was a fascist organization in Quebec in the 1930s. It was rumored alot of his organization was funded by the Germans. Apparentely this Arcand fellow was quite the speaker and considered the Canadian "Sir Oswald Mosely"
I strongly suggest for anyone interested
"The Swastika and the Maple Leaf" by Lita Rose Bechtermann
It is a most excellent book.

This may be so, I said that the contribution was not irrelevent, it was just too big. I never said that the war would have been lost without Canada, but we definately helped. The comparison with Iraq or Afghanistan in WW2 was just downright insulting. Again, the question was what did Germany think of Canada. Not Hitler. German soldiers often faced Canadians one on one and could make the distinction from the larger picture, just as they knew if they were fighting Poles, Aussies or Frenchmen.ToddGreer wrote:Look, I apologize if this offends any Canadian members, but I really don't think Canada was one of Hitler's major concerns. I've never heard of him even mentioning Canada.

Thanks for the apology, and I owe you one as well. Normally not such an ass but this topic got me hot under the collar. The Topic has been split and continued under the thread Marcus mentioned atToddGreer wrote:Go back and read my post. I wasn't comparing Canada with Afgahnistan or Iraq, I was merely giving some other examples of countries Hitler didn't really think a lot about.
Sorry to offend.
