Werner Alfred Waldemar von Janowski, or Abwehr-codenamed "Bobbi" or Allied-codenamed WATCHDOG, was a captured German World War II Nazi spy and Royal Canadian Mounted Police double agent.[1] He is believed to have been a triple agent by some, underscoring the RCMP's inexperience in espionage.
Von Janowski disembarked from the war vessel U-518 four miles west of New Carlisle, Quebec, five o'clock in the morning, November 9th, 1942. His destination was Montréal, having first stop in New Carlisle so he could take the first train out.[1]
