Passage of time? VE Day tribute mixes Germans, Canadians

It was a long time ago but veterans (and others no doubt) wish that the government could tell the difference between members of the First Canadian Army and the German enemy in WWII. Video released by the Veterans Affairs Department Wednesday to commemorate Victory in Europe (VE) Day featured German troops prominently off the top. Then we see some Canadians. The sequence seems to have confused even the CBC reporter talking about the furore. Put it down to the passage of time.
