Description
Black Propaganda in the Second World War examines the various forms of propaganda used during this period and how British and Polish intelligence collaborated to counter German efforts.
The book focuses on the 'black' radio stations created by Sefton Delmer, which broadcast subversive content to lure German listeners, as well as the production of millions of forged leaflets designed to encourage malingering, desertion, and sabotage.
Through its exploration of these tactics, Black Propaganda sheds light on key security issues, including the 'Enigma' machine and the German V-weapons programme, highlighting the complex and often clandestine nature of wartime propaganda efforts.
