Axis Sally’s Nazi Radio
Michael Flamm, a history professor who contextualizes Mildred Gillars' life, and Richard Lucas, biographer of Axis Sally, explore how a struggling Maine actress became a Nazi radio voice. They trace her rise in Berlin, the propaganda tactics she used to target American soldiers, her capture and treason trial, and questions about coercion, ambition, and culpability.
