Hello- Lisa:
I read about your book in 'Popular Communications' magazine and visited your 
website
and will be ordering the book also. I want to thank you for this very 
interesting contribution
and working so to preserve this little-known incident of WWII history!

I was already aware this had taken place from my talks with Jim Barrows ( 
ham call letters
W7BCT ) of Bothell, Washington ( deceased ca. 1990 ). He had worked for the 
FCC and,
I think, FBIS  ( Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service ) during the war. 
They recorded
propaganda broadcasts on wax discs and sent them back to Washington D.C., I 
believe.
( Unfortunately, I suppose, most of those discs were erased - scraped 
clean. )

I want to mention that he also said there were cases of unscrupulous souls 
who wrote
relatives and offered information for some price. I believe in those cases 
government
letters of warning shut down those entrepreneurs.
