 Operation Elster
Another is that Operation Elster (Magpie in English) is a little-known military chapter in P.E.I.'s history, but one that quite likely initiated one of the Island's most persistent marine legends - the alleged sinking of a mystery submarine by Canadian forces off the coast of North Cape on May 7, 1943.
The cracking of Operation Elster was also bolstered by the fact that the British Allies had already captured a U-boat Enigma code machine, had broke the code and were tracking the German transmissions.
On the other side of the Operation Elster coin, a number of incidents were unfolding at the Fredericton Internment Camp, also known as Camp B-70, or 'Ripples' for its remote location by Ripples Brook, between Fredericton and Minto.
