- Whitewater German Prisoner of War Camp by Christopher Paetkau. Riding Mountain Field Unit. As part of the celebrations to mark the 125th anniversary of national parks in Canada, 32 student video reporters worked in the 32 Parks Canada field units across the country. Students were tasked with producing a series of video reports on their experiences in our national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas.

It's history!--leave the photos on screen for more than a 1/2 second so you can look at it
Bless all the German soldiers. RIP. Salute and Respect. They were just fighting for their country.
You're funny.
@@Barouche some of them where just normal civilians but that dosent cover the truth
Rommel's Afrika Corps, the weary foot soldiers of the Wehrmacht and then the very young soldiers drafted at the end of the war. No one seemed too fond of Hitler and the SS elite who had left Germany a bombed out ruin. Tens of thousands of former POW's immigrated back to the U.S. and Canada after the war - it was the happiest freest time of their lives.
There was a POW lumber camp in Frashier, Colorado where there were a group of German prisoners. There is a bar with pictures of the German soldiers marching and working.
Interesting film! Shocked to see it...lived in Dauphin from birth to age 23...and still have family there 37 yrs later...and never even heard of this. You'd think the Dauphin schools would add this to the curriculum since it is a piece of history a few miles away. smh
Just found this video now 10 years later after a news report about this camp by German news magazine Spiegel. Super interesting and also funny That Josef Gabski is from the Same City as me (Düsseldorf)
Great video. I live close to the grave site in Ontario and I’m going to visit.
Thanks for that!
Well done.
Wanted to watch this video, because it's such an interesting topic, but I can do without the constant flashing screen. Bye.
I'm with you on that. The flashing of the photos is hard on the eyes
Apparently they used to sneak out at night to go to the dance hall. They'd be back before dawn mind you.
That was interesting.
Chillin' in Canada.
Hellloooo felllaa i'm french canadian with german ancestery 🤗
Flashing the photos for a split seconds was more then a little annoying. I watching it about half way through.
Great little film, but what the uncreated folk song at the end?
cool.
Hva heter den sang i siste del av video?
Hello. The song near the end of the video is by Ed Stozeck. No title was provided by the artist perhaps because at the time the song was still a work in progress. The song at the start of the video is titled Ghost of a Thousand Battles by The Dead Letters.
Mange takk.
What’s the song at the end of the video ?

@@parkscanada Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse. Le grand bonjour depuis Aix-en-Provence (near Marseille) France 👋
Ps: Je m’en vais chercher ces chansons sur internet et en particulier CZcams.
A rather awkward format that distracts from whatever message you hoped to share.
I HATE arty farty videos with flickery pictures. If you want to show it SHOW it.
Africa Corp POW's from the Sahara desert, interned in Canada's Siberia! lmao
C’était peut-être pour ne pas leur donner envie de s’évader par ces températures et ce cadre champêtre. I presume 😉
Very sad Canada supported war genocide on the German people by allying with the French and British who promoted another war with the enslavement document,The Treaty of Versailles. What is worse was Canadian naivety back then and today how deadly and unnecessary this document was. Too bad it's not taught in schools today.Why?
Are you for real?? You are a total disgrace mister and do not deserve to live in a free country.Sorry we killed yer pals but rhey pissed us off. No forgiveness.
The Jerry's I call them.
