HOW TO WIN AN INFORMATION WAR The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler

History buffs will relish this well-narrated history of Britain's wartime disinformation campaign against Germany, but it also speaks to a broader listenership. The author is Ukrainian born, a respected British journalist, and a disinformation expert. He focuses on Thomas Sefton Delmer, a Britisher born and raised in Germany, and a master of German speech and slang. Delmer's broadcast titled "Der Chef" attacked the Nazi establishment, building on everyday grievances and inventing riffs between the military and the party so convincingly that the BBC rebroadcast them. After the war, German military officers used them to deny responsibility for wartime atrocities. Narrator Matthew Waterson delivers a solid no-frills performance, saving his eloquence for the final chapter and the author's impassioned defense of Ukraine today.
