This message, a copy of which is hereto attached, pertains to our obtaining fifteen German technicians for witnesses in treason cases. At 9:50 A.M. on Friday, March 22, 19.46, Colone1llcInerney was con- .,/ tacted relative to the above mentioned matter and he advised llr. EJ.li.ff and the writer that he had just returned from Europe and had discussed this matter with the Department attorneys now in Europe investigating the treason cases. ije stated that the fifteen German radio technicians were working in the Berlin radio station under t he control and supervision of the Rus sians who have possession of the radio station although it is located in the British zone of occupation. He stated that he would arrange to contact the Russian Ambassador in Washington and endeavor to secure his consent and cooperation in bringing these technicians to Washington as witnesses. He also stated that in his opinion we should not have the treason subjects in Europe examined by Arrrq psychiatrists for several reasons, one being that it is very difficUlt due to the demobilization program to have such an examination made. I Colonel McInerney advised that he would reply to the above mentioned message and the original was left with him after a copy of it had been made. , , --effice Memorandum · UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO The Files DA.TE: June 10, 1946 FROM Donald Ander son TLC:DA:DTJ ~~~ 146-7-51-1708 f~ SUBJECT: Mildred Elizabeth Gillars Treason $.() Yr. Clyde Gooch's letter addressed to the Attorney General dated March 21, 1946, contains the following information pertaining to the above-entitled subject. We have now interviewed over 30 persons who ..ere employed as technicians or broadcasters for the Berlin Shortwave Radio during the war and we have been able to verify the extent of the activi. ties of the subjects in which we are interested. You will recall that at the time Federal Bureau of Investigation agents left the European '!heater investigation was pending against a number of American ci tizens in GerI!lany, particula.rly broadcasters, against whan very little information had been developed. We believe that we now have sufficient facts upon which to base a determination as to whether further investigation is warranted. I am, therefore, swmnarizing below the various cases and our recommendation as to each. Gillars is presently in the custody of the CIC in Berlin' and a statement of her activities is being 'obtained frem her. Ten technicians presently employed at the Rundfunk RaUB recall having seen Gillars make transcriptions and remember that . one or more persons in the same group were present during these times.

Nazi rejimi, kendileri için tehdit olarak değerlendirdikleri yayınları sansürlemiş, diğer yandan ülkedeki kütüphaneler üzerinde sıkı bir denetim uygulamıştır. Nazilerin, Almanya’daki yayıncılık üzerindeki etkisi, Alman Öğrenci Birliği’nin (Deutsche Studentenschaft, DSt) katılımında gerçekleşen kitap yakma (Bücher verbrennung) kampanyasıyla simgeleşmiştir.

  • Modern White Women
    Women for Aryan Unity Presents SkuldModern White Women WAU Publications www.WAU14.com kuld is one of W.A.U’s many paperback publications, this maga- zine is one of a kind; it is dedicated 100% to Aryan Women S.The purpose behind Skuld is to honour Aryan Women past and Present. Being a woman is a very tough job. We are usually forced to mesh both warrior and mother into one. Many types of women past and present have made our roles in today’s society unique. We are labeled as many different things by many different kinds of men and women; one thing that cannot be denied is that we as women are both fierce and motherly all in one. Throughout history, war has been seen as a mans job; however women have always been involved in battles and sieges, not to mention duels, prizefights and so on. The most common occasion on which women would take part in battles was when their home was being attacked. A woman knew how to defend herself and her land. Proud women like Boudicca, Joan of Arc, Freydis Eriksdot- tir, Duchess Gaita of Lombardy, Countess Matilda Tuscany and many more. Women have conquered the skies, art, and medicine and much more. As we have been forced to believe that women before us were content with being shackled to the kitchen sink, Skuld will tell you differently. Each issue of Skuld will focus on many different types of Aryan Women, both historical and mythological.

  • Eisenhower, Dulles, and the Failed Rhetoric of Liberation
    Tu“Reenactdda ing the Story of Tantalus” “Reenacting the Story of Tantalus” Eisenhower, Dulles, and the Failed Rhetoric of Liberation ✣ Chris Tudda This article explores the relationship between public rhetoric and conªdential foreign policy decision-making during the Eisenhower adminis- tration. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Secretary of State, John Fos- ter Dulles, pursued two contradictory diplomatic strategies. On the one hand, they wanted to establish a globalist foreign policy.1 A key component of this strategy was “liberation policy”; that is, freeing the peoples of Eastern Europe from Soviet control. They believed they could best preserve globalism by “ed- ucating” the U.S. public and North American Treaty Organization (NATO) allies about the danger posed by the Soviet Union and the need for liberation. Eisenhower and Dulles consciously chose to use what I have called rhetorical diplomacy in order to achieve this goal.2 Rhetorical diplomacy involved the use of belligerent rhetoric in private meetings with allied and Soviet ofªcials and in public speeches, addresses, and press conferences. Publicly, the Eisen- hower administration embraced liberation policy while appealing to an audi- 1. I have used John Fousek’s deªnition of “American nationalist globalism,” or the belief that the United States, by virtue of its “national greatness,” possessed a unique responsibility “to check Com- munist expansion around the world.” See John Fousek, To Lead the Free World: American Nationalism and the Cultural Roots of the Cold War (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2000), pp. 2, 7–8. Conversely, like Michael W. Miles and David W. Reinhard, I have described as “unilateralists” (rather than “isolationists”) those who wanted to stay out of world affairs and to avoid forming alli- ances.

  • CHAPTER 5 the Legend of Tokyo Rose1
    Miss Yourlovin Ann Elizabeth Pfau CHAPTER 5 The Legend of Tokyo Rose1 2 American veterans of the Pacific war still remember Tokyo Rose. She was the 1 most dangerous and seductive of the enemy radio announcers who broadcast propaganda to American troops. During the war, she attracted avid listeners who passed the time in the tropics by circulating stories about what she said and speculating about who she really was. After the Japanese defeat, former servicemen reminisced about Tokyo Rose, and when the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) called for witnesses able to recognize her voice and to remember her words, many veterans eagerly volunteered their memories. In interviews conducted by FBI agents and in their own sworn statements, these men claimed to remember the peculiarities of her voice and delivery; they were certain that they could identify Tokyo Rose were they to hear her again. Many characterized her voice as "soft," "smooth," "sultry," or "sexy"; she spoke with a slight accent, or they were amazed by its lack. When asked to describe the content of Tokyo Rose's radio show, some former servicemen recounted taunting tales of unfaithful wives who were dating draft-dodgers. Others remembered more ominous broadcasts. They claimed that Tokyo Rose "welcomed" American troops to the Pacific by predicting their movements and warning of impending attacks. Between December 1945 and June 1949, FBI agents collected former 2 servicemen's stories about Tokyo Rose with the goal of building a treason case against Iva Toguri. Toguri was an American Nisei who had been visiting a sick aunt in Japan at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

  • Global and Local Propaganda of an International Terrorist Organization
    Global and Local ISIS Propaganda Travers Barclay Child ∗ Kai Gehring † Sarah Langlotz ‡ Austin L. Wright § March 16, 2021 NB: preliminary draft; please do not quote Abstract This paper examines the effectiveness of terrorist propaganda at influencing public opin- ion in a conflict setting. From 2015 until the present, we examine various propaganda activities by ISIS in Afghanistan, including the circulation of video/print material, radio broadcasts, graffiti, and night letters. We leverage unique military-sourced microdata on propaganda activities and public opinion. These data are supplemented with ad- ditional sources providing a rich array of district- and household-level characteristics. With supervised machine learning we build a prediction model for the emergence of ISIS propaganda across Afghanistan. We then invoke various identification strategies to measure the impact of local and global propaganda on public opinion towards ISIS. We identify the impact of local ISIS propaganda by exploiting the construction/de- struction of an ISIS radio tower in East Afghanistan. We identify the local impact of global propaganda by exploiting the precise timing of video/print material release, relative to household survey dates. ∗CEIBS, [email protected] †University of Zurich, [email protected] ‡Georg-August University Goettingen, [email protected] §University of Chicago, [email protected] We thank Isabela Campos, Matteo Grigoletto, Yulin Hao, Paul Michel, Matthew Ribar, and Jian Pan for outstanding research support.

    Guido Faclder ZWISCHEN (MUSIKALISCHEM) WIDERSTAND UND PROPAGANDA - JAZZ IM -DRITTEN REICH"· Durch vielerlei "unerträglich sachunkundig[e]" (Wolfgang Muth in: Kellersmann 1990, Vorwort) Berichte in den Medien wurde und wird die Thematik Jazz im "Dritten Reich" oftmals nur auf nostalgische oder aber spektalmläre Episoden reduziert, dies umso leichter, als bisher nur wenige wissenschaftliche Arbeiten dazu vorliegen.2 Widersprüchliche Reaktionen nationalsozialistischer Behörden auf das "Swingfieber" sowie das Kompetenzgerangel unter den Kommandostellen erschweren einen Überblick, der in diesem Beitrag versucht werden soll. Swingbegeisterung und Jazzverbote Jazz spielte nach der Weltwirtschaftskrise bis zur ersten großen Swingwelle Mitte der 30er Jahre musikalisch nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Wenn dennoch vielerlei Jazz-Verbote ausgesprochen wurden, dann deswegen, "weil es von Tatkraft und nationaler Gesinnung zeugte, gegen sogenannte 'fremdrassige Musik' vorzugehen" (Schröder 1988, 178). Als Reaktion auf den politischen Umschwung verließen etliche "nichtarische" Kapellmeister, beispielsweise Marek Weber, Dajos Bela und Paul Godwin, aber auch komplette Bands wie die Weintraub Syncopators, die von einer Auslandstournee nicht wieder zurückkehrten, schon 1933 das nationalsozialistische Deutschland. Besonders die Abwanderung amerikanischer Musiker wirkte sich auf das Niveau deutscher Jazzmusik negativ aus. Der Thüringer Erlaß des Volksbildungs- und Innenministers Wilhelm Frick vom I Überarbeitete und ungekürzte FlI8SIIJlg des Vortrags vom 25.9.1992 in Weimar. Für die vielfiltigen Anregungen und die wertvolle Kritik danke ich CIaudia Westermann recht herzlich. 2 Selbst in neuesten I~ublikationen werden die Tatsachen verdreht, beispielsweise: 'Nach 1933 gab es keine Beschäftigung deutscher Musiker mit dem Iazz mehr. [ ... ] Erst das Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges erschloß uns diesen Musikstil von neueJn' (Holzt-Edelhagen 1989, 105). 437 September 1930 gilt als erste Maßnahme der Nationalsozialisten gegen den Jazz.
