The lead up from 33 to 39 would have been so great that most people of age would have gone to war at the time. There would have been reports from Germany often for those 6 years after Hitler took power until he invaded Poland so people would be raring to go by the time war came. And that was the case. Recruiters were packed when war was declared in Canada. I'm sure most able bodied people were trying to go.
1/10 Canadians served over seas during that time. That is a huge number.
