Ep65: How porn and fake news helped defeat the Nazis - Part 1

Today, Dr. Erwin Warkentin goes into how the Allies in World War Two used porn and so-called "black propaganda" tactics to bring about the end of the Nazi regime.

When you consider the effect of the stories we tell and the power of the human imagination, we rarely, if ever, talk about the power stories can have at times of war. We don't often talk about how stories can be an important asset in bringing about victory and then holding on to the peace. These days when we talk about "fake news", it is just one form of propaganda.

On this episode I have my long-time collaborator, friend and former professor, Dr. Erwin Warkentin to talk about how the Allies employed different propaganda tactics against the Nazi regime of Germany during World War Two. Dr. Warkentin has done extensive research on the subject and has written three books on the subject.

While we talk, you might want to visit my show notes. There are some of the original pictures of his research including documents from the time.

This episode is part one of two.
