1: Passing the Torch
When war is declared in 1939, thousands of Canadians eagerly sign up to defend Britain and its Commonwealth. After Britain"s shattered army returns from the Continent in June 1940, the Canadian First Division of 15,000 men is the only fully equipped armed force left in Britain; but it will be a long time before they fight.
2: Hour of Darkness
In the frigid, stormy waters of the North Atlantic, for six years, the ships of the Canadian Navy herd giant convoys of defenseless merchant ships, fighting off  "wolf packs" of German submarines as they close in for the kill. Several times Nazi U-boats almost starve Britain into surrender in this desperate seesaw, touch-and-go battle that sends thousands of Canadian sailors to an icy or a fiery death.
