‘By making it a penal offence to listen in to Allied broadcasts the Germans have ensured that those broadcasts will be accepted as true.’

from review of Voices in the Darkness: The Story of the European Radio War by Tangye Lean,★

Tribune, 30 April 1943

Anyone who has had to do propaganda to ‘friendly’ countries must envy the European Service of the B.B.C. They are playing on such an easy wicket! People living under a foreign occupation are necessarily hungry for news, and by making it a penal offence to listen in to Allied broadcasts the Germans have ensured that those broadcasts will be accepted as true. There, however, the advantage of the B.B.C.’s European Service ends. If heard it will be believed, except perhaps in Germany itself, but the difficulty is to be heard at all, and still more, to know what to say. With these difficulties Mr. Tangye Lean’s interesting book is largely concerned.
