Is anyone aware of any transcripts or recordings of Lord Haw-Haw's radio shows? "Radio show" seems an odd phrase to use for what was a straight talk by William Joyce to the mike, as was conventional for the time, and certainly they were never referred to as "radio shows".

You can find transcripts of broadcasts by Lord Haw-Haw and other German propagandists broadcasting to England and other countries in the recently published book "Hitler's Radio War" by Roger Tidy.
If anyone is able to access those could they see if they can answer my query from 2006? http://www.ww2talk.com/forum/united-kingdom/6286-4th-wilts-soldier-captured-e-boat-crew.html The snatched man's chaps name is mentioned by Lord HawHaw .
In wartime Britain and sans TV, owned only by the well-to-do (and then closed down for the duration) we relied completely on the radio for our news. Whilst scanning the wavebands in the evening it was very easy to come across and then listen to Joyce doing his thing and there was a certain amount of morbid curiosity in pausing to hear his sneering voice saying "Gairmany calling...Gairmany calling" A really nasty type who, in my books anyway, certainly got his "come-uppance" Ron
At the material time Joyce was a US citizen claiming German nationality. He was hanged effectively for making a false declaration on an application for a British passport.
Just came across this interesting BBC piece about Joyce and thought it worth giving this thread a bit of a bump. BBC - Archive - Lord Haw-Haw - Rumours It reminded me that during my first few weeks in the army when Haw Haw rumours could be heard everywhere. I was present at a talk where one particular rumour was discussed that seemed to prove that German spies were en-bedded locally. We were asked to hold our hands up if we thought this was applied only to our local area and to everybody's amusement we all held up our hands ! Ron
