b"Nazi propagandist William Joyce, best known to British radio listeners as \\u2018Lord Haw Haw\\u2019, was hanged by Albert Pierrepoint at Wandsworth Prison on 3rd January, 1946.\\nAt the peak of his powers, his anti-Allied broadcasts from Hamburg reached up to 50% of the UK listening public, who tuned in to hear the German perspective on the looming confrontations, correspondence from British prisoners of War, and Joyce\\u2019s compelling, menacing, yet gossipy delivery of Hitler\\u2019s aims and accomplishments. And a bit of Jazz.\\nIn this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how there were not just one, but in fact three \\u2018Lords Haw Haw\\u2019; consider how Joyce leaned into his celebrity status during World War II; and reveal how his fraudulently-obtained British passport helped to seal his fate on the hangman\\u2019s noose\\u2026\\xa0\\nFurther Reading:\\n\\n\\u2018Treason law reform and the Lord Haw-Haw case 75 years on\\u2019 (House of Lords Library, 2020): https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/treason-law-reform-and-the-lord-haw-haw-case-75-years-on/\\n\\n\\n\\u2018Lord Haw-Haw: popularity of wartime Nazi propagandist made the BBC up its game\\u2019 (The Conversation, 2021): https://theconversation.com/lord-haw-haw-popularity-of-wartime-nazi-propagandist-made-the-bbc-up-its-game-150787#:~:text=Haw-Haw%2C%20wrote%20Hobson%2C%20had%20increased%20the%20nation%E2%80%99s%20Christmas,made%20an%20impact%20because%20he%20faced%20no%20contradiction.\\n\\n\\u2018Germany Calling: Lord Haw Haw\\u2019s Final Broadcast\\u2019 (Station Bremen, 1945): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe-THrWu_4I\\n\\n\\n\\n#40s #WW2 #Nazis #Germany\\nLove the show?
