It traces the development of the German propaganda service and looks to erode the myth surrounding Lord Haw-Haw -the 'superpropagandist'. Propaganda is presented in context: the purposes behind it, the changing patterns, themes, styles, and techniques employed, and the impact upon the target audience and its morale. An analysis of the Nazi wireless broadcasts to Britain for the whole of the Second World War reveals a sophisticated and intelligent propaganda assault on the social and economic fabric of British society. In the end the British failed to succumb to the stupefying effects of Nazi propaganda and they traditionally congratulate themselves upon the national unity which immunised them against it. The author argues that this traditional view disguises a more complex, less appealing reality.Free CDIncludes a CD of 24 German wartime broadcasts to BritainKey FeaturesExposition of organisational structure of Nazi wireless for the UKDetailed analysis of style and content of propaganda broadcastsCareful and critical re-appraisal of British domestic morale and national unityCD insert of 24 recordings of Nazi broadcasters including William Joyce, John Amery, Edward Dietze, Norman Baillie-Stewart, Edward Bowlby and 'Black' propaganda broadcasts" UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474496858 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781474496858 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781474496858/original ER -
