#007: Camp-X: Training WWII Secret Agents, Roots of 007, Canada vs. Nazis w/ Lynn-Philip Hodgson

Jordan is joined by a pure Canadian legend this week; author and Camp-X expert Lynn-Philip Hodgson came, saw, and conquered in this episode about Camp-X, the top-secret and historically significant special agent training camp located in my backyard of Ontario, Canada! If you think Canada didn’t have much push and punch during WWII, then this episode will open your eyes wide! Lynn gives us a great presentation on Camp-X, including other significant facilities that operated in the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario during WWII. These facilities include Camp 30, a German Officer POW Camp, Defense Industries Limited, a huge munitions factory area which would eventually become the city of Ajax, and the original Hydra (eventually referenced in numerous works), a state-of-the-art communications system base. This episode divulges so much great stuff, including who was responsible for the Nazi’s ‘Final Solution’, where the famous spy term ‘the farm’ originates from, and numerous inspirations and connections to some of the best movies from the 007 James Bond franchise. I could not believe how cool some of these connections were and there are even more within Lynn’s books, which I highly recommend for some great reads. Lynn shares a great story (previously confidential) about his experience of being called up by British Intelligence to let him experience the James Bond ‘Goldfinger’ Aston Martin vehicle up close and personal! Another interesting bit we touch on is the weird timing of the opening of Camp-X and the attacks at Pearl Harbour (something I really want to look into more in the future)! Lynn also shares various memorial sights for Camp-X, his artifact collection, and plans for the upcoming opening of a new Camp-X museum! This episode alone proves that Camp-X needs to properly be in the history books and that Canada should be proud and credited respectfully on this one! Divulgence for the pride of Canada – Enjoy Eh!
