BRITISH PROPAGANDA
NEWS-STARVED LISTENERS GERMANS LISTEN EAGERLY HERR HITLER’S ANNOYANCE (United press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Feb. 27 Germans listen eagerly to Britain's news broadcasts in their language, according to the News Chronicle. “So anxious,” it says, “are the news-starved German listeners to hear unbiased facts, distinct from their own propaganda, that at least 3,000,000 Germans stay up until 12.43 a.m. to bgar the British service, which is increasingly successful and is causing Herr Hitler considerable annoyance.” The paper adds: “Even the tiny ‘people’s set,’ costing the equivalent of 355, and designed solely to receive German home propaganda, can be used in some areas for the reception of British news. “Although Germans have listened for many years to France's Strasbourg station, the British news is more objective, according to Germans, because it gives world-wide news and also the truth concerning many aspects of German affairs.”
