I am nominating this for featured article because it is to my knowledge the most comprehensive account of this event available online, has passed GAN and MilHist ACR, has been peer-reviewed, and in my opinion meets the FA criteria.
One cold February morning in 1942, Nazi troops invaded the Canadian city of Winnipeg. They interned several prominent politicians, including the mayor and the provincial premier, in an old fur-trading fort. They then declared Nazi rule, took over the schools and the media, closed the churches, and burned books from the public library. Fortunately, the only blood shed was that of a woman who cut her thumb while attempting to make toast during a blackout. Oh, and did I mention they rented their uniforms from Hollywood and painted scars on their faces? Nikkimaria ( talk) 02:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Copyscape review - No issues were revealed by Copyscape searches. The article by Michael Newman is available online here [2]. Would it be a good idea to include a link to it? Graham Colm ( talk) 08:30, 1 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Comments for now. There are a few wrinkles in the prose that possibly could be improved.
The article might be improved by one more copyedit. Graham Colm ( talk) 09:21, 2 October 2011 (UTC) reply

Support -- Supported at MilHist ACR and, having reviewed changes since then, I see no reason not to support for FA. Well done! cheers, Ian Rose ( talk) 04:06, 3 October 2011 (UTC) reply
Support - I meant to review this article for A-class, but never got around to posting my comments :( Oh well, have had a chance to re-read it now, and liked it just as well this time around. One comment below, but it doesn't effect my support:
Overall, a wonderful little article about an event that I'd never heard of...I wonder what would happen if officials tried that today with a simulated invasion by terrorists or something... Very nice work, Dana boomer ( talk) 16:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC) reply
