Nazi Eyes On Canada, part 3: Maritimes Under The Nazis (starring Orson Welles and Quentin Reynolds)
In October 1942, War correspondent Quentin Reynolds traveled up to Toronto to express his undying admiration for Canada and his lack of admiration for “the Nazi spy whose footsteps you’ve been retracing across Canada. . . the renegade who chooses to call himself Colin Ross.”
Reynolds brings the War and the threat of Nazi domination home to his Canadian audience by telling them of what he had seen in some of the countries Ross had “spied out for his Nazi masters - France and Belgium and Holland and Norway, Russia and England.
“A man who has seen those countries since Hitler struck at them has pictures engraved on his soul that will torment him forever. That’s why I remember that Colin Ross spied upon my own country [the US] and upon you in Canada. That’s why I’m here tonight. To tell you a story about one of your own cities and of a family that lives there. . .”
