Just got home from taking my parents to the Military Museum for the ceremony. Glad to see it well attended and a lot of younger people.

Unrelated, but I took my folks home and my parents decided to give me some stuff, among them just a strange gift.

My mom lived in Lethbridge during WW2 and worked on my Grandpa's farm. There was a german POW camp, and the farmers used German labor. One of the prisoners, actually translated Mein Kampf from German to English and typed it out and leather bound it and somehow my Grandpa got it, and then gave it to my mom, and they gave it to me as well as some books on the Holocaust memorial.

Anyways, I'm flipping through this book and this person who translated it into three leather bound books, has all of these notes in German, I'm almost interested in getting them translated, but it seems clear that he was a pretty hardcore nazi.
