ADRIAN MYERS, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Anthropology, is leading an archaeological excavation at the site of the Whitewater POW Camp in Riding Mountain National Park, in Manitoba, Canada.
Between October 1943 and October 1945, the camp held 450 German Afrika Korps soldiers captured in Egypt. As part of the Whitewater Project, a team of volunteers from Canada and the U.S. has uncovered numerous artifacts brought to the camp by the German soldiers.
Check out this Canadian Broadcasting Corporation report in which Myers talks about the project:
