Three other, smaller, properties in the area were owned by the Ballantine, Bravender and McIntosh families. In 1939, British intelligence re- alized it needed some sort of large some distance from Europe but easily ac- cessible from Europe and the United States. It also had to be far removed from enemy eyes. After the war broke out, Winston Churchill assigned a young man, noe find- ing a suitable location’ ek “the camp. Stephenson is much more well known by his code name me Intrepid, and the resulting book, A Man Called Intrepid. Stephenson decided the camp had to'be situated somewhere close to New ~ York’ city, headquarters of British Security Coordination (BSC) and the place from which Stephenson served as coordinatér of all British intelligence activities and functions in North and South America. Proximity to BSC’s Canadian ‘headquarters in the’ Toronto head office of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce was also important. ~“ He bagan looking across the border to Canada and the north shore of Lake Ontario, The Whitby-Oshawa area, near Toronto and its facilities, seemed ideal.

(Jolin Pearson, in his book The Life of Tan Fleming, quoted Fleming as say- ing: “Camp X changed my life.” Agent 007’s creator said ‘the camp played a major role in ‘his writings which were later turned into movies.) In short, Stephenson’s money was used to buy the land and the title was transferred to a Crown company later. This, then, was the beginning of Camp X. The BSC papers were quoted, a little dramatically, in A Man Called Intrepid as saying of Camp X: “Here . alistic characteristics Carefully chosen recruits were inducted into the Canadian army with rank, uniform and service pay and benefits, Potential agents were recruited from this country’s large: ethnic pop- ulation to meet linguistic and nation- required for. special. missions. One request was made to a prominent Canadian union leader for help in locating ‘operatives for a mission. In no time, 20 Hun- garian-born activits from the Toronto area were chosen. Canadian, civilians, _ recommended to Drew-Brook by his talent spotters, provided a great deal of technical expertise. Canadian pro- fessors of engineering, scientists and giften amateurs were inducted. Giant radio antennae were built around the camp for long-range trans- mission to and reception from Allied intelligance around the world. But it wouldn't do ‘to let that be common ledge, so the Canadi: ing Corporation (CBC) told area resi- dents that the antennae were radio was the coiled strength, building to- “wards aggressive (Allied) intelligence - operations.” Stephenson added in the book: “Camp X was the clenched fist preparing for the knockout” of enemy - forces. : As the camp was being established in the of 1941, “brought in two other men to assist him * jn the planning and building of the complex. They were Bill Donovan, dir- ector of the “American = Office of ane yenHs: owned and oper- ated by it. “These antennae were only a small part of the communications centre at Camp X.

Likewise for a box of matches ‘which, if ignited properly, could be thrown into the.face of an attacker, blinding himvat least tempor- - arily. These techniques’ were not con- fined to use: against Germans in Europe. The guards of Camp X, “these veterans of raids along the’ enemy _ coasts... were skilled in the use of the hatpin, the thin copper wire, and the’ mor depths, as ina pocatbis at neni seem. ; ) }Phose involved in plannitig:-Héy- drich’s assassination included a film producer, a set designer from Holly- wood and a French actress whose lover was a German double agent. Residents of the Whitby-Oshawa area also par- ticipated in the scheming to kill Hitler's baa ‘ right-hand man, albeit unwittingly. It has since been revealed that Camp X- officials purchased several cars from lees! inhabitants. These cars were used in prep agents for: Heydrich's killing. Every known fact, right down to’ the most minute of details, about the Third Reich's potential next Fuhrer, was collected. His habits, daily sched- ule and sur were st Heydrich’s regular routes were photo- graphed, built into threedi of an American intelligence service ‘in (ROMP). When a RCMP official showed up, the.agent would, merely, shaw him'a secret ‘code number (26-11) | oft: hid bracelet.. Within minutes, the RCMP officer could have the matter cleared up, confidentially of course, and the agent on his way back to Camp X. No questions-asked. Parachute drops, some from less’ than 1,000 feet, were practised in the’ Orono : forest. From there, agents penetrated and tagged industries in’ the Whitby-Oshawa area. On one occasion, a Yugoslav who spoke only a few words of English, was deposited on the Queen streetcar near. Spadina in Toronto. After seeking out directions from a nearby barber. shop, he successfully penetrated the naval yards and walked out with some highly: secret ‘communications manuals before seale models and, in some cases, reconstructed in full size. The assas- sins, vol from the Czechosl: re to camp. ; Bringing enemy transportation to’ a standstill was, yet another trick any kian army, left their occupied home- land and were flown to Camp X where they prepared for their mission. After months of planning along the quiet, Lake Ontario shore ‘Heydrich was killed at a hairpin bend on a street in Prague, Czechoslovakia. His body and his car were bombed beyond recog- nition. Heydrich’s assassination brought what A Man Called Intrepid described as “retaliation (which) was even more atrocious than could have been pre- dicted. But it fanned the fires of resistance to unquenchable fury." also ranked other homely, silent, lethal Pp that would’ not needlessly alarm the local inhabitants or draw the unwel- come attentions. of the local con- stabulary,” said A Man Called Intrepid. the | ulti ex- tension of guerrilla warfare, was also . big on the menu of courses, ranging in duration ‘from two to eight weeks, covered a variety of topics, a variety which would make any branch of the YMCA envious and-nervous. Fleming took a one-week course in underwater demolition. His instructors said he had a lot of flair but too much imagination.) The most significant assassination planned at Camp X was that of Reinhard Tristan Eugen Heydrich, known by Allied forces as “the Butcher of Prague.” Heydrich was Hitler's chief i and master of terror. At -ground was Hydra, the that- linked the camp with British intelligence in every corner of the globe. Later, the biggest radio com- munications unit in the world was ‘added. It was called Aspidistra (a stemless herb with large, glossy, that beads i was believed he hoped to bordi only to * Hitler and that Hitler considered him his successor, ‘an event which his- torians feel would have sunk the mon- strosity of the Third Reich to even Ey on the list of priorities for agents trained at Camp X. By the time an agent was finished training, he or she would probably be proficient in the techniques of inflicting great damage upon enemy industry and transpor- tation. To effectively bog down Nazi industry, one need only disrupt a major power source. Breaking cables was only a temporary deterrent, but blowing up a generator created a major problem. So a standard part of the course in sabotage was devoted to destruction of generators. Field training took agents as far away as Orillia. From there, they ‘would be expected to find their way back to the camp. More often than not, they would be ordered to plant fake had to become good at. Putting .a single, strategically- placed locomotive out of action could cripple the Nazi war machine. At Camp X, agents were taught this skill, which included the planting of small: plastic charges-at the most vulnerable points of a locomotive — even under watchful German eyes. One agent who did this described both his. training for the mission and the mission itself. “I don't’ know how often we blew up (in simulation) trains on the Toronto-Montreal line. After a -few times, the poor engineers would spot us lying in the long grass by the track and throw up their hands. I guess they thought we were local: patriots getting ready for the invasion or sub- versive nuts. It paid off though. I got through my. mission and managed to , avoid the concentration camp.” It’s questionable whether or not the rigors of a concentration. camp would have been any tougher than his training. He: described his commando instruction as “the most bloody-minded thing I'd ever seen. The CO (com- manding officer) in charge always wore his kilt no matter what the exercise or the weather and nearly killed us with his crazy schemes. We had to be ‘on’ night and day. They never let up trying to catch us out on some. detail." Throughout the training at the . camp, the stress was on realism. Only live senmmunition was used. These bombs at the Ahern power station on the lakeshore at the west end of.Toronto on their return. If they were caught in the act, they would simply ask for a representative of the Royal: Canadian Mounted Police af ibed by one man as the most tealistic and blood-curd- ling exercises that I have ever seen outside a theatre of war.” Conclusion next week.
