Best Answer

Only one Canadian was executed by the Canadian military during WW2. Private Harold Joseph Pringle was executed for murder 5 July 1945. It's debatable if he actually committed the crime. He had been a problem soldier since his enlistment and had deserted in Italy.

A number of Canadian soldiers were executed by the SS during D-Day. 20 Canadian soldiers were executed on the orders of Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer. The soldiers, from North Nova Scotia Highlanders and the Sherbrooke Fusiliers Regiment, were executed by the 12 SS Panzer Division.
