Mildred Gillars always had a flair for the dramatic and was desperate to be on stage, in the lime-light at any cost. However, after several failed attempts as a Broadway actress, “Midge” followed the love of her life to Germany hoping to some day be his wife.
When war broke out in September 1939, she had already been living there for five years and refused to flee back to America. Was it pride, prejudice, love or the hunger for fame that led to the start of her infamous career as Axis Sally?
Axis Sally, The American Voice of Nazi Germany by Richard Lucas is a fascinating look at the life and trials of Mildred Gillars a.k.a Axis Sally.

Mildred Gillars was not the only woman to be prosecuted after the war for being 'Axis Sally'.
For details of the two-fold 'Sally' identity and information about German propaganda broadcasts to the world during the Second World War, see my new book 'Hitler's Radio War', available now from Amazon and other reputable book sellers.
