I’ve now put online over 230 translated monitoring reports of broadcasts made by the British clandestine radio station known as Gustav Siegfried Eins (GS1). GS1 pretended to be the mouthpiece of a group of disaffected German soldiers. The main announcer is referred to as "der Chef", the Chief, who revels in the use of foul language to attack the murderous British enemy and to complain about the clique of Nazi bosses (the Party Kommune) who are mismanaging the war while profiteering and living a comfortable life at the expense of the German people. The station was on the air from May 1941 until November 1943. Broadcasts of this radio station were monitored by the U.S. Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service, the transcripts of which make up this collection. The originals are held by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, Record Group 262. http://www.psywar.org/delmer/8250/1001 Lee
Hi Lee I notice that the website is no longer working. Do you intend to put the transcripts back up online? I am writing a book about Der Chef and so if you were able to share any copies of the transcripts (from May to November 1943 in particular) I would be incredibly grateful! Thanks very much James
I am interested in the work of Sefton Delmer - I believe he was behind this particular disinformation effort...
