Sanne.
I can not write Dutch any more I can read it . I had a stepbrother who during the
war atempted to cross the North Sea by canoe. The plan was to get far enough from the Dutch coast in hope to get to be picked up by a Britch naval ship.
They used a folding. The Germans saw them depart from the Dutch coast at night.
The Germans tell them go for about two days and went after them with a German
PT boat. They spend the rest of the War years in a German prison camp.
His name was Hans van Zanten.I may be able to locate his wife she still lives in
Holland his sister Miep lives in Lochem. Her address: Mrs M.E.Dresselhuys Van
Zanten. Klein Docht Schooldijk 7214SM Lochem Pnone 573256386 or 53260
PS correction They used a folding canoe.
Miep may give you detailes and dates and the name of the other friend who was
with Hans.
Good Luck
