As Canadian veterans began returning to civil society, what happened to the weapons, equipment, and supplies they relied on to fight and win #WW2?

@AlexSouchen joins the #JunoPodcast to uncover this answer. As it turns out, Canadians were really thrifty. https://t.co/lsZnVyC23g

I really enjoyed @James1940's chapter. A nice little taste of air operations and how difficult close air support could be. I hope the Canadians in the middle at Agira, Regalbuto, and Catenanuova get some play along with the Malta Brigade. #WeHaveWays

Proud of their past, new to action, and in the midst of an evolving military culture, the situation on 25 July 1944 challenged the Black Watch’s sense of honour.

“Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."" - Winston Churchill

Which "few" was Churchill referring to?

Just for fun.

77 years ago Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, began.

For the Allied air forces, the air battle had been underway for months. Their efforts set the conditions for victory.

And I wrote a book about it.
