26.1.4.5.9. World war 2 radio propaganda (二战电台宣传)
During WW2, lots of pro-Nazi and pro-Alllied radio propaganda was produced and transmitted to the enemy:
Most notable pro-Nazi ones:
-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Joyce William Joyce (alias Lord Haw-Haw)
His broadcasts opened with "Germany calling, Germany calling" and were spoken in a faked affected upper-class English accent.
They seem to be very just boring propaganda news however, no jokes.
William Brooke Joyce (24 April 1906 – 3 January 1946), nicknamed Lord Haw-Haw, was an American-born British fascist politician and Nazi propaganda broadcaster to the United Kingdom during World War II. He took German citizenship in 1940.
Joyce was convicted of one count of high treason in 1945 and sentenced to death, with the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords both upholding his conviction. He was hanged on 3 January 1946, making him the last person to be executed for treason in the United Kingdom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrT3rILfIzA "Tokyo Rose" - WW2 Traitor or Victim? by Mark Felton Productions (2021) talks about Tokyo Rose (東京玫瑰), alias for several women who broadcast English propaganda for the Japanese, but most notably Iva Toguri D’Aquino. This one was really good, she was cute and made fun of herself, and played music, the Americans actually enjoyed listening to it. Soft power at its best.
