When the pot boils over some guys clad in black rubber suits get booked on green planes going to strange and
dangerous places. An alert could come at anytime for Canada's sub-surface sappers. What are they? They're the Canadian Army's Scuba divers. This site looks at some of their training over the last year or so. The site is produced under the auspices of the Combat Divers of Canada, a non-profit association of serving and retired Canadian Army Scuba Divers.

| Missing Canadian Military Engineer WWII - Prisoner of War
On the day of the Allied Invasion of Normandy, the 6th of June 1944, Lieutenant W. A. Miller, Royal Canadian Engineers,
successfully escaped alone from OFLAG VIIC, Colditz Castle, in eastern Germany by holding onto the underside of a German truck
driven out of the prison camp. But he was never heard of again. No record of him has yet been found in any captured German
archives and he has no known grave. It is believed that he was captured, perhaps tortured and shot by either the Gestapo or the
SS. It is also possible that during his escape he drowned while attempting a water crossing and his body lost.
A search of the National Archives is presently underway to reveal other details of Lieutenant Miller and they will be provided
in due course. |
