WE took in a lot of the Afrika Korps boys. They like most of the American boys were conscripts. They weren’t there voluntarily, and they had no Canada to run to. They answered the call just like our guys did. They served proudly, they weren’t there to kill Jews, they were fighting for their buddies, just like our guys, and just as proud of their country. Right or wrong it was their country. If there was a Maltese cross on their graves, it may not have ever been noticed.
A lot of them joined the French Foreign Legion after the war.
