The Germans in WW1 coined the Canadian regiments as Storm Troopers because they came with complete disregard for their own personal safety in order to achieve the objective.

No they had a high regard for their own safety, well as much as one can have in those conditions. but it was the fact that when the Canadians arrived in force we would take the objective.

Nous n'avons jamais cherchez la bagarre au Canada, mais chaque fois que nous avons été confronté à la guerre, les Canadiens ont montré qu'ils sont parmi les soldats ,les marins et les aviateurs les plus courageux, les plus compétent et les plus efficaces du monde.


We never look for the fight in Canada, but whenever we were faced with war, Canadians have proofed himself they are among the soldiers, sailors and airmen the bravest, most competent and most efficient in the world.

Did you heard the bullet who pass over canadian position and the noise made by the 25mm gun?

Canadians have always been great military. From when they were in World 1 and 2.
Were no joke and we can get the job done when needed.

Oh - looks like my reply idea doesn't work very well. OK, I'll be brief, sorry. :) Anyway, bodies are found where the target fell - behind doors, in windows, etc. Rarely out in the open unless they're running. An assault is mad, tense and bewildering; the only thing that keeps it on track is the discipline of the soldiers and leadership of the NCO's. Folks have stated they see a lot of random fire - the whole point in an assault is to pump fire downrange to keep their heads down...

...easier and safer than letting them shoot back.

Anyhoo; just want to add my appreciation to Mr. Kesterson in his superb footage of 'ma boyz'. And to all soldiers of every country serving today. Keep tight, lads, stay sharp. We who fought salute you who fight.
