During World War II, Americans often viewed Canada as a quiet, reliable ally — polite, loyal, and operating in the shadow of larger powers. But behind that image was a reality that deeply impressed U.S. generals, planners, and intelligence officers.
This documentary explores why many Americans privately felt fortunate that Canada was not their enemy in WWII.
Canada entered the war in 1939, two years before the United States, and rapidly became a major military-industrial power. By 1944, Canada fielded the fourth-largest navy, the third-largest air force, and battle-hardened ground forces that fought relentlessly in Normandy, Italy, the Scheldt, and Northwest Europe.
Drawing on battlefield observations, German reports, and Allied planning realities, this film reveals how Canada’s geography, industry, and combat experience made it a power best encountered as a friend — not an adversary.
This is the story of the ally America was profoundly relieved to have.
