Featured review
This is the first time I've heard of this elite special forces unit. How have I never heard of them until now?! I'm baffled! This unit was sent on suicide missions, ROUTINELY, and I have to assume that this documentary was the work of someone that knew how important they were and had to get their stories recorded while they are still around to tell us.
It was touching to watch the gentleman saying how glad he is to be able to finally tell his story and get this stuff off his chest after all these years!
A movie must be made about this unit! I will immediately be reaching out to people in the movie business to make them aware of this unit and their story. This unit's story can make for a legendary WW2 movie.
By modern military standards, they would be classed as a Tier 1 SOF, which is the equivalent of Designation DELTA (Delta Force), DEVGRU (ST-6), MARSOC Force Recon, Russian Spetsnaz-VEGA Group, and British SAS/SBS... yet not a word has been spoken of this unit in all my hundreds of hours of learning about military and warfare, while so perfectly fitting of how legendary Canadian snipers are. Just an FYI, Canadian snipers hold the records for 3 of the top 4 longest confirmed kills, including the #1 spot of 3,450m and we're talking a record that will not be broken for many years.
Though I'm American, I grew up in northern Maine, directly on the Canadian border, and I have Canadian family and friends - my grandmother is Canadian, and I have a camp in Canada. I've spent a lot of time in Canada and I love the country and the people. This documentary did a stunning job of capturing this aspect of the war, and if I was a Canadian, I would be SO proud of my country after seeing this!
