Nazi Eyes on Canada
Nazi Eyes on Canada is a five-part Canadian radio play broadcast by CBC Radio in the fall of 1942.
Each of the stories focuses on a real family from a different province of Canada (Ontario, Alberta, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Saskatchewan), then portrays an imagined horrible future for the family if Nazi Germany were to win the Second World War.[1][2][3]
The cast included Orson Welles, Vincent Price, Helen Hayes, Judith Evelyn, war correspondent Quentin Reynolds, House Jameson and Katherine Raht of The Aldrich Family, and Lorne Greene.[1]
The episodes, produced by James Frank Willis, were made in co-operation with the National War Finance Committee, a government committee established to encourage the sale of War bonds.[2]
