Victory 1945 series

Directed by David Paperny and Susan Ridout, Victory 1945 (2004) is a two-part historical documentary focusing on the vivid, personal stories of the dramatic final months of the war, leading up to VE (Victory in Europe) Day, May 8th, 1945, as told by Canadian World War II veterans who served overseas, and their girlfriends and wives that were waiting at home. It tells not only the story of Canadian's efforts overseas in the last days of the war and their impact on the war but of the reality that they came back to Canada and switched to a world and country at peace. The documentary is based on the memories of Canadian veterans and their wives, including Alex Colville, a war artist who became a world-renowned painter and Companion of the Order of Canada, Peter Stursberg, a CBC war correspondent and member of the Order of Canada, author David Dickson, later a Supreme Court judge in New Brunswick, John Dougan, who would have a long career as a Canadian ambassador, and others. The documentary also includes interviews with several post-war immigrants who left a war-ravaged Europe, including Holocaust survivor Celina Lieberman, former German U-Boat engineer Werner Hirschmann, and a ten-year-old German boy named Holger Herwig, now a military historian at the University of Calgary. Victory 1945 is narrated by Steve Burgess.
