During the Battle of Britain, as German forces attempt to break British resistance, one voice emerges from Berlin aimed directly at British listeners. That voice belongs to William Joyce, a man who would become one of the most notorious Nazi broadcasters of the war.
Raised with strong political convictions and drawn to fascist ideology, Joyce rose within the British Union of Fascists before fleeing to Nazi Germany on the eve of war. There, he became the voice of German propaganda, broadcasting to Britain in an effort to undermine morale and encourage surrender.
Known as “Lord Haw-Haw,” his broadcasts reached millions at the height of the conflict. As the Third Reich collapsed, Joyce attempted to evade capture, but was ultimately found by British forces, leading to a trial that would determine his final fate.
