How Canadian Soldiers Rescued 34 German Children During Winter Combat

Описание: February 1945, near Kleve, Germany. Canadian Captain James Morrison discovered 34 German children starving and freezing in a bombed orphanage during the brutal Rhineland Offensive. When his commanders denied evacuation, Morrison made an impossible choice that would change military doctrine forever.

This is the incredible true story of how one Canadian officer and twelve soldiers defied direct orders to rescue 34 enemy children from certain death during active winter combat. With German artillery firing every 18 minutes and observation posts watching their every move, Morrison led a daring 400-meter extraction through no man's land that lasted just 38 minutes.

The unauthorized rescue mission risked court-martial and endangered the broader Allied offensive. But Morrison's act of humanity didn't just save 34 lives—it transformed how armies worldwide protect civilians during combat operations, influencing NATO doctrine and modern international law.

Discover how this forgotten Canadian hero chose compassion over compliance, proving that even in war's darkest moments, one person's courage can change everything.
