Thousands of men marched into the city on this day, Bomb upon bomb, yet no explosion. Shots fired in the dark night, yet no casualties. Seen a rebellion, but no invasion. People lived through the occupation to turn in a few bucks. The guys in the south have their toons and flicks, but here, it's like the real thing. What was this day? Line 1: A large number of actors dressed as German soldiers marched into Winnipeg on IF Day Line 2: There where fake bombings as part of the 'battle'.

Line 6: Refers to the U.S. making cartoons and movies about WW2. Line 7: Describes how IF Day was like an actual German invasion of Winnipeg Line 8: Filler
