Axis Sally w, Richard Lucas
Mildred Gillars, known to American GIs as Axis Sally, was one of Nazi Germany s most notorious radio propagandists. Hired by German State Radio because of her American accent and seductive voice, she finally achieved her own version of stardom after years of pursuing a failed acting career in the United States. My guest is Richard Lucas, author of Axis Sally: The American Voice of Nazi Germany. In his book he tells the story of the rise and fall of Mildred Gillars, including her capture and trial for treason. Casemate Publishers:
