Ross and his wife were both committed National Socialists, but after his 1940 film on The new Asia he made no more films.  The Rosses were close friends and neighbours to the Baldur von Schirach family – and lived within walking distance of the von Schirach's country home on Walchensee south of Munich.  On 29 April 1945, Colin Ross and his wife committed suicide in their Walchensee house.
