"America means freedom and there's no expression of freedom quite so sincere as music." ~ Glenn Miller
The Krauts weren't the only ones using swing music to propagandize in WWII.
Glenn Miller had been broadcasting propaganda messages to Germany, in the German language, extolling its citizens to stop fighting and help bring the war to a speedy conclusion.
Hitler had declared music illegal, so the Yanks sent it to his people with a German announcer named Ilsa.
Did Miller's contributions to the Allies' quest for victory lead to his mysterious disappearance?
Conspiracy theories abound.
