WERNER VON JANOWSKI. NAZI, WW II

Werner Alfred Waldemar von Janowski, (Abwehr-codenamed "Bobbi"; Allied-codenamed WATCHDOG), was a captured German Second World War Nazi spy and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's first double agent.[1][2][3] He is believed to have been a triple agent by some, underscoring the RCMP's inexperience in espionage.[1]:135, 189[4] Due to power struggles between the Canadian and British intelligence agencies during the Second World War and the RCMP's inexperience, Operation Watchdog was a failure.Janowski provided little significant intelligence to the Allies: no Abwehr agents were arrested and no U-boats were captured, despite his apparent cooperation.Within a year the operation was shut down and Janowski was sent to a prison in Britain. he was  kept in prison till the end of war. And then was repatriated to the British areas in Occupied Germany and he was detained and released only on 1947. He had no place to go. Eastern Prussia was annexed by Poland and the population was expelled. He worked as translator  and later  worked for German navy in 1960. He died in Spain in 1978
