‘Canadians were shocked to see German soldiers on ads to celebrate our Canadian warriors,’ a Conservative MP said. The Veterans Affairs Minister profusely apologized
There was just one little problem with a video Veterans Affairs Canada published — and then quickly deleted — this week to commemorate Allied soldiers on the 74th anniversary of VE-Day: The footage began with Nazi German soldiers.
Veterans Affairs Minister Lawrence MacAulay profusely apologized for the mistake. “This was a completely unacceptable mistake and the video was removed immediately,” he said. “I can assure members that I and the people involved are very concerned and are taking steps to make sure this does not happen again.”
As the soldiers with the Nazi eagles walk by, the video includes a caption saying “More than a million Canadian men and women served in this bitter conflict.”
