READING

THE MAN WHO WOULDN’T TALK

During World War Two, George Dupre worked for Canadian Intelligence. For much of the
war, he worked in an office in Winnipeg, Canada, although he was sent to Britain later in
the conflict.
When he returned to Canada after the war, people were naturally interested in hearing
about what he had done. George was a good storyteller and he slowly started to
exaggerate his role in the war. His stories became more and more sensational. He told his
fascinated listeners about how he was sent to France to work undercover. He had
pretended to be a village idiot, which disguised his real purpose there. Eventually, he had
been arrested by the Germans, who had recognised his importance to the war effort. They
had tortured him for information but George was strong and brave. He had refused to tell
them anything. He was the man who wouldn’t talk.
Once George started, he had to keep up the lie, no matter how far-fetched the story
became. It proved to be quite simple to keep up the deception. George was quiet and
modest and very believable. When he was vague about details or contradicted himself, it
was easy to blame it on his suffering while a prisoner.
News of George’s heroism quickly spread. A writer, called Quentin Reynolds, had the idea
of writing a book about George. He interviewed him and, in 1953, George’s story
appeared with the title The Man Who Wouldn’t Talk. Perhaps, it should have been called
The Man Who Talked Too Much. The book caught the attention of one of his wartime
colleagues who realised that George had been in Winnipeg at the time many of the book’s
events took place. He told a journalist what he knew and the journalist had an idea.
He arranged to meet George, claiming that he too had worked for Canadian intelligence in
Europe. He then tricked George by making up some names of important intelligence
agents working in France at that time. George was completely taken in and claimed he
had known the same people.
When the story broke, the book’s publishers were forced to republish the story as a work
of fiction. Quentin Reynolds joked that he had written his first novel. However, surprisingly,

sales didn’t suffer. It was such a good story that people still enjoyed it, even though they
knew it wasn’t true. It also helped that George hadn’t invented the story for personal or
financial gain. He gave away any money he earned from the book, even before the truth
was revealed. He was just a normal person who had got carried away. As he said himself,
the story just grew on him.

George Dupre spent most of World War Two in an office in Winnipeg, Canada. Whilst he
was, in fact, sent to Britain for some time, he didn't do most of the things he claimed.
Having come back to Canada, people started asking him questions. He was good at
telling stories and told them he (1) ______________________________ in France. As
a result, some German soldiers captured and tortured him to find out what he knew, but
he remained strong and refused to cooperate with them.
A writer called Quentin Reynolds met and interviewed George to (2) ________________
_______________________ him. One of his colleagues read it and realised it wasn't all
true. After he revealed the truth, George was tricked into admitting that he (3) _________
______________________________ most of the story.
Since the book didn't describe real events, it was later
(4) ______________________________, but it was still very popular. People enjoyed
reading it and they liked George, who had decided to give away all the money he earned
from the book even before the truth was discovered.
