This free video on youtube of the narrative of 5 surviving Canadian Snipers of the Black Watch regiment. From Normandy Beach to the Liberation of Holland. Dutch survivors also discuss their Liberation in 1944 and 1945.
They also had to deal with German counter-sniper teams looking for them. It is playing today on the Canadian History Channel in honour of the Normandy Landings.

I have worked with Canadian Officers and Enlisted. You will relate to them. They were a tough bunch. They were happy to tell their story for the first time. Many of them had never told anyone prior to this video.

Those who made it back home were able to keep their U.S. citizenship, but it was a different story for the dead. Many were buried across Europe as Canadians
