BBC Lord Haw-Haw collection

The BBC has made available a collection of broadcasts and documents relating to the propaganda activities of Lord Haw Haw during World War II.

William Joyce, aka Lord Haw-Haw, was a notorious broadcaster of Nazi propaganda to the UK during World War II.

His announcement 'Germany calling, Germany calling' was a familiar sound across the airwaves, introducing threats and misinformation that he broadcast from his Hamburg base.

In 1945, Joyce was captured and returned to Britain, where he was later hanged for treason. This collection features some of his broadcasts and interviews with those who knew him. Wartime documents reveal the fear caused by Lord Haw-Haw and how the BBC worked to counteract his propaganda.

The collection comprises 15 radio broadcasts and 11 documents and can be seen at

The BBC attempts to stop people overseas from having access to certain items on their site and it is not known if the archive is accessible to those outside the UK.

One solution to this problem may be to use a Proxy Server based in the UK. For information on how to use a Proxy Server, watch this video.
