At the 1:00 minute mark is a picture of a Newfoundland Dog, there is a true story of how a Newfoundland Dog who was a pet of the Canadian soldiers took a live grenade in its mouth after it landed near several wounded Canadians during the battle, the dog ran away and was killed by the grenade, whether the dog knew what it was doing is something not known.
I had a Newf, most amazing dog ever, incredibly intelligent!
Gander!
All I know is my grandfather was in this Battle, and was wounded by a grenade, he never wanted to talk about it.
I believe it was 12,000 not 15,000. And Churchill did reinforce Hong Kong in 1941.
But Churchill did mention before to let Hong Kong go because a two front war is really hard to bare for Britain.
@@canman5060 Churchill also told major general Christopher Maltby that with each day they resist the Japanese, it would help the allied cause.
SALUTES ! ! !
Today Hong Kong is the Special Administrative Region of China. Well, the fully part of China is 2047.
China also thinks the entire China Sea belongs to it so yeah...
The real hell is in Sham Sui Po concentration camp where a Canadian of Asian descend raged his hate on his fellow white Canadian for racial discrimination in Canada resulting high death toll.
That guy was a Japanese Canadian
That man may have spent time in Canada, even born there, but he was no Canadian, but a monster from the Imperial Japanese Army. May those who lost their lives to his hate RIP.
He was from Kamloops i believe
The person that you are referring to is called Kanao Inouye, and he was a Canadian citizen of Japanese descent, convicted of high treason and war crimes for his actions during World War II. Known as the "Kamloops Kid", he served as an interpreter and prison camp guard for the Imperial Japanese Army and the Kenpeitai political police.
In 1942, Inouye was conscripted into the Imperial Japanese Army as an interpreter. Made a sergeant, he was assigned to Sham Shui Po prison camp in Hong Kong, which housed Canadian prisoners of war from the Hong Kong Garrison. Inouye was noted for his unusual brutality. He beat prisoners at random, stating it was in retaliation for racism and discrimination that he had received in Canada. In contrast to his later trial testimony about his childhood, he allegedly told them: "When I was in Canada I took all kinds of abuse. ... They called me a 'little yellow bastard'. Now where is your so-called superiority, you dirty scum?
Asia is a very big place. The cultures are very different from region to region. Calling some random person an Asian is just weird in my book. Just use their nationality. No need to follow the US's census categories.
