[QUOTE="klein, post: 610031, member: 23950"] I may have rushed into things myself. But, I do know, once a year, we see the news from Holland, celebrating a sort of Canada Day. It could just be a state or a part of Holland. But, I do know it's huge over there. As for the USA not being in the top 10. I'm rethinking that now too. I could have gotten that mixed up with WW1. Where America was ranked in the 20's. I do forgive if my info was incorrect. But, we do have a person named tworaven from Holland on BC. He would know best. But, we do know 1 thing, the japs wern't afraid taking on the americans, and either were the germans. But, who would have known about the A bomb later on ? As far as the confernce and dividing up Germany into 4 sections (French, Russian, American, and English)... France was defeated by germans... Russia would have been too, if Germans wouldn't have frozen to death... But, it just came down to that. Nevermind, I found it easily : [B][FONT=Tahoma][SIZE=5]Canada's Role[/SIZE][/FONT][/B] Canadian Forces played an important role in liberating the Netherlands. Canadians who landed on D-Day, fought battles through France, Belgium, the Scheldt and in Germany before being dispatched back to the Netherlands with the Canadians who had fought in Italy.
