Program Details
Black Watch Snipers documents the Canadian military experience during WWII as seen through the eyes of a tightly-knit group of snipers from the country’s most storied Regiment—the Black Watch.
Suffering more casualties during the war than any other Canadian regiment, this band of brothers suffered enormous sacrifices and endured the ultimate test of combat as they participated in the liberation of Western Europe from the clutches of Nazi tyranny. They not only survived one of the greatest military sagas in Canadian history, but are still alive and well to share it. This is their story.
