What is ironic about that is that there is a peculiar part of Canadian history involving German POWs who were sent to Canada during the war. Many of them ended up in loosely-organized camps out in Manitoba. They weren't guarded terribly well, since there wasn't much of a military presence in the area and there was no place on the open prairie for them to escape without being recognized and caught. Many of the prairie farmers used them to help around the farms.
As soon as the war ended and the POWs were sent back to Germany, many of them immediately emigrated back to Canada and moved back to the same small prairie towns where they had been POWs. To this day, there is a heavy German influence in parts of southern Manitoba.
