fought in the battle of Capelse Veer on the river Maas near Dussen (also known as Kappel se veer?) in Holland. Their objective was to paddle in boats up to a German occupied bridgehead [part of an offensive known as "Fall Braun"] and capture it. They had painted their boats white and were wearing white battle gear. At the last minute they were ordered to paint the boats black, thus getting their battle gear all stained with black as well. It turned out to be a full moon clear night so they could easily be seen. Walter had to fire on the occupiers wearing British uniforms, not knowing for sure they were enemy or not. They were Germans though in disguise.
