Register of the Daniel Lerner 46019 2 Collection Biographical Note Daniel Lerner (1917-1980), author and professor of sociology, worked as Chief Editor of the Psychological Warfare Division, SHAEF (1944-1945), and as Chief of Intelligence of the Information Control Division, OMGUS (1945-1946). Scope and Content Note Daniel Lerner (1917-1980), author and professor of sociology, gathered a portion of the collection in 1944-1945 when he worked as Chief Editor of the Psychological Warfare Division, SHAEF (1944-1945), and as Chief of Intelligence of the Information Control Division, OMGUS (1945-1946). He supplemented the collection with materials he found during his two trips to Europe in 1946-1947 and in 1948 while he was Research Director of the International Studies Center at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University. Lerner's book, entitled Sykewar: Psychological Warfare against Germany (New York: George W. Stewart, 1949), is partially based on the collection materials.

  • Sefton Delmer BLACK BOOMERANG
    Sefton Delmer "I do not think my unit produced more than three items of printed pornography during the whole war, not because I was squeamish, but simply because I did not think the effort involved on our part would be justified by the subversive effect on the Germans." "Do I regret this pornography which I perpetrated during my few years as a temporary government servant ? I certainly do not on morale grounds. As far as I was concerned, anything was in order which helped to defeat Hitler. And I don't regret the Chef's forays into erotic propaganda. it helped him get launched much more quickly than he would have been without it. Later I closed down his station and their was no more pornography on those that preceded him". (ie Soldatensender) Read the article here "H.M.G.'s secret pornographer" BLACK BOOMERANG THE WORLD WAR 2 TOP SECRET BRITISH BLACK PROPAGANDA OPERATION. This is the true story of The British Black Propaganda Operation in World War Two. Sefton Delmer had an extraordinary ability to empathise and understand the German mind. He had been born in Berlin son of an Australian Professor in English at Berlin University and spent his early schooldays during The Great War as a student of the Friedrichs Werdersche Gymnasium. In 1917 his family were repatriated to England. Later after a degree at Oxford he retuned to Berlin to become Berlin correspondent for the Daily Express. It was in this capacity as a newsman, he first met Ernst Roehm head of the Nazi storm troopers.

  • For Submission
    Between Host-Countries and Homeland: Institutions, Politics and Identities in the Post-Genocide Armenian Diaspora (1920s to 1980s) by Vahe Sahakyan A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Near Eastern Studies) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Kevork B. Bardakjian, Chair Associate Professor Carol B. Bardenstein Emeritus Professor Gerard J. Libaridian Associate Professor Ara Sanjian, University of Michigan - Dearborn Professor Ronald G. Suny Professor Khachig Tölölyan, Wesleyan University ©Vahe Sahakyan 2015 To my parents ii Acknowledgments The completion of this project owes much to a large number of scholars, academics and intellectuals, friends and family members. My academic journey in diaspora studies began due to my training as a sociologist at Yerevan State University, Armenia. My sociological curiosity was quick to capture the significant differences in how Armenianness was experienced and expressed in the diaspora, when I first encountered third-fourth generation Armenian-Americans upon my arrival at the University of Michigan as a Junior Faculty Development Program visiting scholar in Fall 2004. This generous grant I was awarded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs provided me a possibility to spend a year at one of the leading American universities, where my interest in Armenian diasporic identities and institutions took shape. Frequent and often endless conversations with Kevork Bardakjian and Gerard Libaridian provided additional impetus to my curiosity. It was due to their continued encouragement and support that two years after returning to Armenia I finally decided to apply and was admitted to the Ph.D.

  • Lee Richards the West Is Again Facing Multiple Threats Spearheaded by Hostile Information Activity
    41 THE RAINBOW IN THE DARK: ASSESSING A CENTURY OF BRITISH MILITARY INFORMATION OPERATIONS Lee Richards The West is again facing multiple threats spearheaded by hostile information activity. ISIL’s exploitation of social media has lured new recruits reaching straight into the bedrooms of our teenagers. Seemingly inexplicably, young intelligent minds have been radicalised through a perversion of their faith. A resurgent Russia has reinvented its ‘hybrid war’ doctrine of the Soviet Cold War-era, believing that it can only be secure when we are weak. Putin’s incursions into Ukraine and now Syria have required a vanguard of blatant untruths filtered through its expansive international news agencies RT and Sputnik. All the while our own performance in Iraq and Afghanistan has been questionable with our strategic communications (stratcom) never becoming as pre-eminent as they were in the World Wars. As will be shown in the following review of British military information operations, a recurrent pattern of under-resourcing, ad-hoc responses, and Whitehall battles of control have been a constant hindrance to effective stratcom, particularly through the Cold War period and despite the best efforts of those involved. It seems, and one hopes, the UK Ministry of Defence through its ‘post-Afghan reset’ has recognised and is attempting to address these deficiencies, as it continues to wrestle at almost every level to understand and respond effectively to the emerging character of war in the information age. In 2012, Stephen Jolly was appointed the UK’s new Director of Defence Communications. It was a controversial appointment.1 An expert on information operations and psyops, Jolly is an unorthodox thinker drawn from an academic background (he is a Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge); he held a Fellowship in Psychological Warfare at the International Centre for Security Analysis at King’s College, London, in the early 2000s; and was a former instructor at the UK Defence Intelligence and Security Centre at Chicksands.
