== == Canada sold many of it's naval ships to smaller nations like Chile and Brazil to boost their military forces at a low cost. The air force kept some planes for the peacetime reserve but most were sold off for private use, with the Lancaster bombers becoming freight carriers, and the twin engine Mosquitos became short range passenger planes. The Army kept about one third of it's armored units intact, along with about 4,ooo trucks and jeeps, the rest were sold at auctions as war surplus, to private buyers who repainted them and used the trucks for work in transport and industry. Bulldozers and other types of construction equipment were sold at auction and were soon at work building the new homes and factories that came in the post war boom of building that went on into the 1960's in Canada. Naval ships were surplus and were sold as scrap, to be broken up and the metal re-cycled onto other things. The same happened to many armored units. In some cases, the Allies left their equipment in Europe, to be sold " as is where is ", to the highest bidder, especially any equipment that was "battle damaged". Box cars full of uniforms and boots went for a few CENTS per hundred pounds of weight. It was cheaper than paying to have it shipped back to North America.
