IF IT WASN'T FOR THE CANADIANS, THE DUTCH WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LIBERATED SO SUCCESSFULLY

I HAVE NOT SAID THAT THIS ISN'T THE CASE. I WAS RESPONDING TO POST 7.

I could have said "Deutsch-Englische Soldaten" but it wouldn't have been very relevant, to this thread, because this thread is about Canadians and it was also intended to be a "play on words", as in "French=Canadians/German-Canadians". I have never heard of "French-English", discounting the residents of the Channel Islands, of-Course.

My immediate response to post 7 was much more "out-spoken" than the response that is seen now. This was toned downed after quick reflection and I believe that only the author of post 7 noticed my immediate response to what he had written.

Gil, I do not believe that my German is so bad that you do not understand a word of what I am talking about, considering that you are half German and I studied the language for over 6 years, albeit quite a few years ago.

Ich neige sowieso dazu, alles zweimal zu sagen, Jim, also entschuldige ich mich dafür.

Ja, wenn ich halbdeutsch bin, kann ich meinen Glauben sagen, und einer ist, dass die Briten und Kanadier das Leben der Niederländer während des Zweiten Weltkriegs nach so vielen Jahren in deutscher Hand erträglich gemacht haben.

Bleib sicher und glaube immer an die Geschichte.
Es kann nicht neu geschrieben werden.
