Who was Lord Haw Haw?

William Joyce, aka "Lord Haw Haw", an American citizen whose obtaining of a British passport in 1938 while a member of Sir Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists ultimately resulted in his being hanged for treason by the British. Strong arguments have been made over the years that Joyce should not have been found guilty of treason, since the prosecution's argument that he owed allegiance to Britain during the period of time he was in possession of a British passport was a questionable one that should not have resulted in a guilty verdict. While at least one American broadcaster for the Axis who was found guilty of treason has since been justly exonerated, the fact that the naturalized American citizen Joyce broadcast propaganda targeted to Americans which met American criteria for treason makes it certain that were he not tried for treason in Britain, he would have been in America - the difference would likely have been the punishment he would have received for the offense, since no other American broadcaster of propaganda in WWII was sentenced to death. http://www.earthstation1.com/Lord_Haw_Haw Jul 27 02, 4:55 PM

My first quiz on Heaney was far more difficult than I intended it to be, and so I have tried to make this one a little easier. Good luck.
