The specific sections? Or just a rough approximation of shenanigans they got up to during WW1 and WW2.
I mean, I don’t know anything about parts being written because of Canada, so whatever knowledge you are willing to share.
Summary knifing and clubbing of all POW's, brutal hand to hand combat, trench raids with spiked clubs. They prettymuch went berserk and that kinda started the anti war-crimes laws.
Wasn't there also something about food in trenches to lure starving soldiers, then throwing grenades in after they were close?
Yes they did that several times. They also would dynamite the entrances to dug outs. Or Bring up Flamethrowers and torch them. Often while the men inside were still asleep.
They also executed POWs in mass several times. Because it was simply too inconvenient to take them prisoner.
And some units reportedly had a habit of maiming men and leaving them to bleed out rather than kill them outright.
There was also claims of Canadian Trench Raiders massacring Aid Stations and the Wounded and Medical Personnel inside them. Though that was not one of the things explicitly confirmed post war to my knowledge. Just suspected.
Most of the rest of the Allied Forces actually abandoned Trench Raids. Deeming it too costly and brutal a tactic. Keeping in mind these are the same people who thought slowly walking towards machine gun nests was the pinnacle of Military Strategy. The Canadians were one of the only Allied forces to maintain the practice.
There was also the time the Germans tried to repeat the Christmas Truce of 1914 the following year in 1915. German troops had started to emerge from their positions unarmed or otherwise expose themselves to fire. Wishing the Canadians Merry Christmas and waving goods they presumably planned on sharing with their opposite numbers.
The Canadian response was Machine Guns, Rifle Fire and Mortars.
Fuck me. Dude, in Canadian elementary school they divided us into teams for sports all the times. Names were like Blacksmiths, Trappers, and fuck me, I was on the Grenadiers, I shit you not. But they used to pronounce it Gren-ah-deers
wouldnt suprise me at all.
