William Joyce Quotes

“Lord Haw Haw” was the name that he used in his propaganda broadcasts from Germany to England. Despite the fact that the broadcasts were anti-British and pro German, many in Britain listened to him regularly.

Great Britain had an equivalent organization arguing for England to support Germany and let Hitler control Europe.
