Lord Haw Haw: Nazi Propagandist:
Born in New York but living in England, Nazi sympathizer William Joyce slipped away to Berlin just days before Britain declared war on Germany. He landed a radio job broadcasting Nazi propaganda, opening each show with his trademark, "Germany calling, Germany calling!"
Nicknamed Lord Haw Haw for his affected accent, Joyce blamed the war on international Jewish financiers and invented news reports to demoralize British listeners. Though millions tuned in, most listened for comic relief and did not take him seriously. After the war, Joyce was captured and hanged for treason. |
