FEARED BY NAZIS
THE BROADCAST WEAPON. SAVAGE SENTENCES IMPOSED ON LISTENERS. Sentences of anything up to ten years’ penal servitude continue to be dmposed in Germany and Austria as a punishment for listening to the 8.8. C. In Aprl, 1943, a provincial paper published in South-West Germany said, in the course of an attack on rumourmongering:—“lf you will take the trouble to trace the rumour you come across, you will find a peculiar informant at the end of the trail; it has an aerial and five valves and a few knobs which can be turned round until you happen to get a wave-length. Broadcast propaganda has become a weapon which, if it is not met by suitable counter-measures, will prove more paralysing and deadly than guns and machine-guns. For if, from the start, the fighting morale of the people, their will to resist and their belief in victory, are sapped and broken, the best weapon will be of no use.”
