- Warrant Officer Nathan Berger of Montreal, Quebec, was reported missing on active service on June 6, 1944, and was subsequently reported killed on active service. Warrant Officer Berger was attached to the R.A.F. Transport Command and was engaged in ferrying operations, carrying paratroops to the Caen sector when killed. He enlisted in August 1941 and went overseas as a wireless air gunner in the summer of 1942. He spent seven months in Iceland before being sent back to Great Britain in December 1943. While with the R.C.A.F. in Iceland, Warrant Officer Berger was involved in several crack-ups and once spent two hours in the water before being rescued. (Source: Canadian Jews in World War II)
