如果说这一天包括加拿大军队和装扮成德国士兵的志愿者之间的交火，著名政治家的拘禁，纳粹统治的强加，以及游行。该活动是为战争筹款：当天在温尼伯筹集了超过300万美元。组织者认为，该活动所引起的恐惧将有助于提高筹款目标。这是2006年一部纪录片的主题，并被纳入盖伊-马丹的电影《我的温尼伯》。
If Day (French: "Si un jour", "If one day")[1] was a simulated Nazi German invasion and occupation of the Canadian city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, and surrounding areas on 19 February 1942, during the Second World War. It was organized as a war bond promotion by the Greater Winnipeg Victory Loan organization, which was led by prominent Winnipeg businessman J. D. Perrin. The event was the largest military exercise in Winnipeg to that point.[2]
If Day included a staged firefight between Canadian troops and volunteers dressed as German soldiers, the internment of prominent politicians, the imposition of Nazi rule, and a parade. The event was a fundraiser for the war effort: over $3 million was collected in Winnipeg on that day. Organizers believed that the fear induced by the event would help increase fundraising objectives. It was the subject of a 2006 documentary, and was included in Guy Maddin's film My Winnipeg.
