While it is true that Canada joined Britain and France in declaring war on Germany in September of 1939 it is also true that Canadian troops barely fired a shot in the european theatre until 1943. Canadian troops were mostly stationed in Great Britain and since no land invasion ever took place there was not much action for the infantry until Sicily. The threat and strength of the British Navy and Airforce are what kept Hitler from invading the British mainland in 1940/41 and then he spread his troops to thin in the invasion of Russia. As far as pure number and percentage of troops there were far and away more American combat troops overseas by late 1942 than Canada could have or ever did muster. At least half of the Canadian troops never left Canada.
