the thing you just
sprayed it,
sprayed it,
anything that
moved with bullets.
And the a-h-h-and
ah, that was it.
Anyone that
ha-that was had a gun
and and wave it around
there was no hope for him.
It's either you or him.
Sergeant Snider said
the first guy he shot,
he had given up
and kept hollering,
"comrade, comrade!"
And he said,
"I shot him anyway."
He said, "There was still a
lot of fight left in him."
He said.
You know it's a
hard thing to say
but they said that there
was no way we could
take prisoners
because there was
no place to put them.
out, it didn't matter,
you disposed of him,
that was just it, till,
cause you had to clean
everything out of the way
so the next wave of soldiers
could come through.
And ah, that's ah,
the way it was.
And ah, how we ever got off
I'll...
[gun fire]
Some Germans,
they were medics.
And I said, "first you're
going to do my men.
And he says
"Nein."
He wouldn't do it.
And I says,
"and you gonna do me first."
And I told him,
in german,
"ich bin ein Jude',
you know, I'm Jude -
and you're gonna do
what I tell ya. Or else!"
standing beside me,
and said, "lift your rifle,
aim at his head,
when you hear the word
'nein' coming from him,
don't wait for me, just
shoot the sonofabitch.
Don't wait for any orders."
And boy he was just ready to go,
you know he was...
And this guy started
to shake he was,
he was really
scared of Natives.
He, he said, "okay,
okay, you know,
all of a sudden
he spoke English.
You don't even
think about it.
The thing is,
you've been
trained so long that,
"destroy your enemy!"
anyone you can,
and it,
you have no emotions
at all really.
But it's after,
I find it harder now,
to think he was a human
being, just like I was.
The only thing,
he was doin,
the same thing
I was trained to do.
Protect his country,
or protect
what he was supposed
to protect.
It was a while before,
finally the shooting stopped,
and that's when
my work started.
My job as pay-clerk,
was to record the,
the dead,
everyday,
the pay had to stop the
minute a man was dead.
Everyone wasn't
going to pay an extra
nickle if they had to.
There were
sixty-three bodies,
lined up on one side.
And the burial
parties removed the
lower half of their dog-tags.
They put em in a box,
and brought them over to me.
My job was to enter
the name of the person.
I knew most of them.
Some of the men
I knew very well.
When I finished my job,
I went back to the seawall,
I sat down,
and I started to cry.
I never...
much in all my life.
Finally the paymaster
came over and says,
"it's time for us to move on."
And that was,
that for D-Day.
You know sometimes you wonder,
"what the heck
am I doing here?"
Ya know?
I don't have to be here.
You know going through
this, and then you,
you liberate a
village, and then,
these people come out
from I don't know where.
They come out and then
you know why you're there.
[cheering]
Read the history books,
and the Americans won the war.
Oh sure, they,
they put a lot into it,
alright but,
the Canadians are
the ones that took the brunt
of a lot of
the ah, ah, attacks.
And the Canadians were
always put in
that position, that -
because they were
so good at it,
they were given that job.
Maybe it's just the
way the Canadians are,
when they get a job,
they go ahead and do it.
They say "well, w-we, we
gotta do it, let's do it!"
They thought we were
just a bunch of farmers.
[laughs]
but those farmers
turned out to be
good fighting men.
In fact,
we're the first regiment
to reach our objective.
You know it's all
over, you come home.
Uh, you sit up in
bed some night
and y-y-you'll
l-live a little bit
more of it too.
Your wife kinda gets
tired of this
you jumping out of bed and
walking around the room
and come back in
in a bit, you know?
I-I don't know, ah,
I'm glad I was there.
I'm glad I witnessed it.
I'd a felt terrible if I -
if I hadn't taken part and
did something, you know?
Everybody pulled
together,
it was only Joe,
and Sam and
Pete and Harvey.
I feel sorry for
the little guy
and ah,
there was lots of
them in the Army.
That was all they
had you know?
Yeah.
We stand for two minutes.
What did they stand for?
Sixty-five years.
Their whole life.
We, we came back,
we've enjoyed
life,
we had a home,
had a wife
and children,
they
didn't.
They didn't have any of that.
But how often do
How often do we
think about our
freedom really?
You know?
How often do you think
about your freedom?
