[Man Narrating]
I see a long, straight line athwart a continent.
No chain of forts
or deep-flowing river or mountain range ...
... but a line drawn by men upon a map
nearly a century ago ...
... accepted with a handshake
and kept ever since ...
... a boundary
... yet marks
their friendly meeting ground ...
The 49th parallel
the only undefended frontier in the world.
Gun crew!
Battle stations!
Fine work, Hirth.
Magnificent, Herr Kommandant
So the curtain rises on Canada.
[Tapping]
[Man]
Stand by! Stand by!

Here come the boys!
Give 'em a cheer!
[Sailors Cheering]
Only a fool would imagine
we could raid enemy ships for supplies now.
Outgoing ships will be detained,
incoming ships heavily convoyed ...
... at least for the next few days.
We must find a spot where the enemy
is least likely to seek us out ...
... which is not being patrolled every day ...
of looking for us.
Hudson Bay.
[Warning Siren Blares]
Too many damned icebergs about.
- What's our position?
- Three miles off Point Amour.
If we go up, we risk the patrols,
but we'll make better time.
If we stay below, we risk the ship.
I'm going up. Action stations!
Where are we? The North Pole?
Belle Isle Straits.
There's a lot of ice coming down.
- Fifty degrees.
- Fifty degrees, Herr Leutnant
[Wind Howling]
Ah.
Good.
I can see the opening dead ahead.
Take a look here.
[Kommandant] You're quite sure
this is a suitable in-draft.
Yes, Herr Kommandant
Those are the cliffs he mentions in his notes.
[Man On P.A.] Stand by.
