Espion allemand Werner von Janowski
Vers 5 heures 50 dans la nuit du 8 au 9 novembre 1942, près de New Carlisle dans la baie des Chaleurs, une chaloupe se glisse vers le rivage. Elle vient de quitter le sous-marin allemand U-518.
À son bord, l’agent Janowski a pour mission de se rendre à Montréal et de préparer l’arrivée, au printemps suivant, de saboteurs.
Il se rend à l’Hôtel Annett de New Carlisle afin de se laver et de se changer. Cependant, son accent, son odeur d’huile et les billets désuets avec lesquels il règle sa note attirent l’attention des gens de l’hôtel. Le fils du propriétaire, Earle J. Annett, alerte la Police provinciale qui arrête Janowski à bord du train qui le mène à Montréal. Durant plus d’une année, Janowski travaille comme agent double pour le gouvernement canadien. Toutefois, ses activités de contre-espionnage cessent lorsque, dans la presse, on fait état de son arrestation. Le contre-espionnage allemand découvre ainsi la duplicité de son agent.

The German spy Werner von Janowski
About 5:50 in the night of 8 to 9 November 1942, near New Carlisle in Chaleur Bay, a boat slipped toward shore. It had just left the German submarine U-518.
The mission of Agent Janowski, who was on board, was to go to Montreal and prepare for the arrival of saboteurs the following spring.
He went to the Hôtel Annett in New Carlisle for a wash and change. However, his accent, the smell of oil about him, and the outdated banknotes he used for paying his bill attracted the attention of the people at the hotel. The son of the owner, Earle J. Annett, alerted the Provincial Police, who arrested Janowski aboard the train that was taking him to Montreal. For over a year, Janowski worked as a double agent for the Canadian government. However, his counter-espionage activities when his arrest was reported in the press. The German espionage service thus discovered the duplicity of its agent.

I was originally enrolled into the GETTY IMAGES collection as a contributor on April 9th 2012, and when links with FLICKR were terminated in March 2014, I was retained and fortunate enough to be signed up via a second contract, both of which have proved to be successful with sales of my photographs all over the world now handled exclusively by them.
On November 12th 2015 GETTY IMAGES unveiled plans for a new stills upload platform called ESP (Enterprise Submission Platform), to replace the existing 'Moment portal', and on November 13th I was invited to Beta test the new system prior to it being officially rolled out in December. (ESP went live on Tuesday December 15th 2015 and has smoothed out the upload process considerably).
With visits now in excess of 19.073 Million to my FLICKR site, used primarily these days as a fun platform to reach friends and family as I have now sold my professional gear and now take a more leisurely approach to my photographic exploits, I would like to say a huge and heartfelt 'THANK YOU' to FLICKR, GETTY IMAGES and everyone who drops by.
