Sefton Delmer. Corsaire des ondes de sa Majesté

This document deals with the subversive operations carried out by the British during the Second World War, using Black Radio as a means of propaganda in order to undermine the enemy’s war effort. Indeed, if the Germans were considered as the masters of White Propaganda, the British would soon become the true specialists of a new form of psychological warfare: Black Propaganda. A team was set up in England under the orders of a journalist called Sefton Delmer, who had spent many years in Germany. He spoke perfect German and knew German society and its social customs. We will define the different “colours” of the propaganda carried out and then study to what extent these actions were successful in the struggle for victory in Europe and how the waves were used as an efficient weapon of deception directed towards the Reich and its allies
