Woburn at War 1987

Producer/Director: Graham Creelman

Rôle: Presenter

Broadcast: 1987 Anglia Television

Synopsis: The 'Woburn at War' documentary looks at the so-called 'black' propaganda radio stations that broadcast radio propaganda from England to Germany during World War Two. The radio transmissions (in German) were a mixture of propaganda and truth, often revealing news to the German listeners that had been deliberately withheld from them by their own government. One of the aims of the broadcasts was to create doubts in the minds of German listeners about the competence and integrity of their own leaders.

Marius Goring was involved in this enterprise as part of his war service and he takes us back to the places where the broadcasts happened and to the people who devised the scheme and worked on the broadcasts.
