    Who was Lord Haw Haw and how did he die?

    Question #86985. Asked by star_gazer. (Oct 07 07 9:26 PM)


    zbeckabee

    		Lord Haw-Haw was the nickname of several announcers on the English language propaganda radio programme 'Germany Calling', broadcast by Nazi German radio to audiences in Great Britain on the mediumwave station Radio Hamburg and by shortwave to the United States.

    The nickname generally refers to William Joyce, who was the German radio's most prominent English-language speaker, but several other speakers could sometimes be confused with him.

    Joyce was executed on January 3, 1946, at Wandsworth Prison, aged 39. He was the second-last person to be hanged for a crime other than murder in the United Kingdom.
