The BBC has released a collection of archive material about Lord Haw Haw’s wartime broadcasts from Nazi Germany. I am pleased to report that this material is available worldwide, unlike some other archive material which is restricted to the UK. The collection contains a 37-minute feature first broadcast in 1940 called ‘The Ear of Britain’ about the BBC Monitoring Service, where I worked for four years in the 1970s, as well as lots of recordings of Lord Haw Haw’s broadcasts. That includes his final broadcast when, speaking slowly and with slurred speech, he had clearly consumed a lot of alcohol!
