TORREN REIMER is Dr. Reimer's grandson, and of course, Kathy Reimer's brother. They have known nothing of what happened to him since the day in 1938 when they were all suddenly arrested by the Nazis. He escaped from a Nazi work-crew in early Spring, 1940, and reached Copenhagen three days before the Nazis thundered into Denmark. Befriended by a distinguished Copenhagen clergyman, Pastor Emeritus Erik Hansen, Torben operates a secret anti-Nazi freedom station. A real-life incident of tragic interest to "Against the Storm" listeners was recently in American newspapers: "The operator of a secret Copenhagen station shot the policein mi sent to arrest him, and then killed himself." (Played by Sam Wanamaker) EBB A FIELDING, an AmericanDanish girl who attended the University of Copenhagen, entered the story when Kathy Reimer's brother, Torben, escaped to Denmark. They met on the Swedish ferry that brought them to Copenhagen . . . three days before the Nazi invasion. Ebba was returning to Denmark to marry Franz Holbein-, a German who had been a fellow student of hers at the University. When Ebba discovered Franz is now a Nazi, she refused to marry him, but she did not return to America. She chose to stay in Copenhagen to work with Torben in the anti-Nazi underground. Ebba thinks she and Torben can use her old friendship for Franz as a shield for their anti-Nazi activities. (Played by Lenore Kingston) NBC photos on Ray Lee Jackson
