Canada declares war on September 10, 1939 The War is On Canada declares war on September 10, 1939

Canadians started lining up at recruiting offices as soon as war was declared. Some to have a steady job Some seeking adventure Some believed it was simply the right thing to do

Not Ready…. First Canadian troops arrive in Britain end of December 1939 “Green recruits” Unfinished barracks and short of equipment So Canadians spent the next months training… sometimes with wooden bullets!

Not Ready Allies as a whole were not ready So very little fighting was happening This is the period called the “The Phoney War” The allies were scrambling

Advantage Nazi German forces continued their advance throughout Europe Blitzkrieg – “Lightning War”

The Maginot Line France had prepared for another World War One Concrete defenses built between France and Germany

German forces went around the line through Belgium Allied defences collapsed Pinned down at Dunkirk

VIDEO – Evacuation of Dunkirk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F47B4O5mrCo

France Surrenders June 25, 1940 German forces occupy northern and western France Vichy France – Puppet Government in the south

Battle of Britain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euRlmTHpSCI

Battle of Britain Luftwaffe had 2500 planes compared to RAF 1200 RAF had superior radar

Canada and the Battle of Britain 100 Canadian pilots flew in fighter operations 200 more flew bombing raids Even more served as ground crew

Retaliation Luftwaffe accidently bomb London (instead of military base targets) RAF bombed Berlin in response Luftwaffe starts bombing London intentionally

The Blitz Reducing parts of the city to rubble Killing as many as 43,000 people

Breathing Space Because of the shift in targets the RAF was able to regroup, rebuild, and gather reinforcements By May 1941 Luftwaffe was losing ground and the Battle of Britain petered out
