I've been to Juno beach several times. I think theres a few people high up in Canada right now who should take the trip and check out what happened when Canadians were taken prisoner by SS troops led by people who had honed their brutality fighting Russians on the eastern front previously. May make them think twice about thanking SS members for their service. Or not.
