Read an interesting story about a German POW in Canada

He was taken captive in 1940 and sent to Canada. Canada is a very big place and he wound up at a POW near Lethbridge Alberta. He spent some months in the camp and was shown to be not one likely to run away so he was hired by a local farmer to work on the farm. Canada's farmhands were all overseas so the farmer and his family really needed the help. Imagine the surprise of the German when he got to the farm. The farmer promptly handed the German a rifle and some bullets and told to go shoot some gophers. A POW given a rifle and bullets???? So he went out and shot as many gophers as he could. Soon he was able to stay at the farmers house instead of going back to camp every night. At the end of the war he applied to become a Canadian.
