That

Certainly! A lot of this is old knowledge that’s been rattling around in my head from old books and lessons I’ve taken.

To start here’s a wiki link to summarize the Crucified Soldier.

Here’s a link to an article by The National discussinf Canadian and German relations leading to Canadian brutality.

As well a short wiki article talking about trench raiding, namely referencing a book about Canadians in the bibliography section.

Alrernatively, here’s a link from the Canadian Legion talking about Canada developing night raiding as a tactic on the modern battlefield.

I could probably dredge up some other information if you’d like but I think these are a nice starting point. From there it should be easy to make your own searches or narrow down your interests. I hope this helps.

I think I would! Thank you for the recommendation.

Canadians had a vendetta against the germans and refused to even acknowledge their humanity on a whole.

Canadians were the recipients of some of the most brutal german assaults, gas attacks and night raids. As well there was a rumour early in the war that the germans crucified a Canadian in no mans land. Since then all bets were off.

Canadian soldiers used to throw tins of food into German trenches during quiet periods then when the calls came for more they would throw grenades instead. Ensuring they killed as many Germans as possible.

Canadians also perfected night stealth raids where they would sneak into German lines and cut the throats of every other man. Leaving the Germans to wake up to their numbers decimated without a sign of the enemy.

At one conference at the Hague the Germans promised to stop using gas weapons if the Canadians agreed to stop using birdshot in their shotguns and the Canadians said no.

Canadians really don’t do war kindly.

Who are you people with more than like 10 tabs open at once? Do you guys just not close something after you’re done reading it?

Nope! It’s still used almost everywhere. Commonly used as a backup on demolition setups like a ring-main.

Not so sure about civilian applications in demolitions or pyrotechnics but most global militaries still use it from what I’ve read.

Standard time fuse is still in common use in all types of demolitions fyi. There’s actually a NATO STANAG for it.
