First Canadian Army: Victory in Europe 1944-45 Forty Simon
It's rare for a book to capture your attention from the very first sentence, but kudos to the authors of First Canadian Army for doing just that... -- Canada's History MagazineA pictorial history of the decisive role played by Canada in the final year of World War II.After Dunkirk, as the tattered remnants of Britain's best troops returned home without their heavy weapons, Canadian troops moved in to defend northwest Europe, sending in virtually all of its disposable weapon resources and 368,000 soldiers. I, too, feel that Canada's contributions to victory in both world wars have unfortunately been downplayed or ignored over the decades by the country's allies.
The majority of these were to be part of the First Canadian Army, which would play a key role leading to the unconditional surrender by Nazi Germany on May 9, 1945.
