This Day in Legal History: Lord Haw-Haw Sentenced to HangOn September 19, 1945, William Joyce, infamously known as "Lord Haw-Haw," was sentenced to death by a British court for treason. Joyce, an American-born British subject, became notorious for his English-language radio broadcasts during World War II, where he spread Nazi propaganda designed to demoralize Allied forces and sway public opinion. His broadcasts, aired from Germany, ridiculed Britain and encouraged defeatism, earning him the mocking nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" due to his affected, sneering tone.Interestingly, before aligning with Nazi Germany, Joyce had served as an informant for the British government on Irish Republican Army (IRA) activities. In the 1920s, Joyce had strong anti-communist and anti-Irish Republican sentiments, and his knowledge of far-right politics in the U.K. led him to assist British authorities in monitoring IRA movements. However, his extreme right-wing views eventually drew him to fascism, and by the late 1930s, he joined Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists before fleeing to Germany at the onset of World War II.The nickname "Lord Haw-Haw" was coined by British journalist Jonah Barrington in reference to the exaggerated aristocratic accent of an anonymous broadcaster. Though it initially referred to another German propagandist, the label stuck to Joyce, who became the most infamous voice behind Nazi broadcasts. His broadcasts, filled with mockery of the British government and predictions of their downfall, made him a household name in Britain, and the face of enemy propaganda. Despite his American birth, Joyce's use of a British passport for his travels was enough for the court to convict him of treason. His execution in January 1946 marked the end of one of the most infamous figures of wartime propaganda.The Compton Courthouse in Los Angeles suffered two major floods in January 2024, caused by burst water valves, resulting in closures and significant disruptions to court operations. Nearly 5,000 cases were impacted, and emergency repairs cost California almost $2.6 million. This courthouse, along with many others in L.A. County, is deteriorating due to a "run to failure" maintenance approach, where repairs are made only after systems break. Budget constraints have forced the California Judicial Council to prioritize only critical repairs, leaving many courthouses vulnerable to failure. Compton is a "medium priority" for repairs, raising concerns about more urgent locations, such as the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, which has also faced severe plumbing and hazardous material issues.Los Angeles has 36 courthouses, many of which are well past their 50-year lifespans, and costly maintenance bills continue to rise. The challenges are compounded by seismic safety risks, as many of these buildings are not built to withstand earthquakes, presenting a significant danger to the public. Renovation and replacement of courthouses are progressing slowly, with only a few new facilities funded each year. Experts suggest modernizing courthouse designs and incorporating technology to reduce the need for large, outdated structures. However, without substantial investment, L.A.'s court infrastructure remains vulnerable to both natural disasters and everyday wear and tear.L.A. Courthouses Crumble With ‘Run to Failure' MaintenanceSecond indoor flood causes Compton Courthouse to close until further noticeCOMPTON COURTHOUSE CLOSED FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS DUE TO ADDITIONAL FLOODING ISSUES AFFECTING ELEVATORS AND LOBBAlso in California legal news, a judge has denied a request to reopen Golden Gate University's law school, which closed after 123 years of operation. California Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer ruled against the plaintiffs, a group of former students and alumni, who had sought an injunction to reinstate the school. The plaintiffs had sued for breach of contract, claiming the university kept students in the dark about its financial struggles before announcing the closure.Golden Gate University cited declining enrollment, poor bar exam pass rates, and a weak job market as reasons for shutting down its law program. While most of the affected students have transferred to other American Bar Association-accredited schools, such as the University of San Francisco School of Law and Mitchell Hamline School of Law, the plaintiffs argue that the school failed to provide adequate transfer options.Although the school will not reopen, the plaintiffs can still pursue monetary damages for claims such as breach of contract and false advertising. A hearing is scheduled for October 22 to determine whether their case will proceed. Golden Gate Law is the latest in a series of law schools nationwide facing closures due to similar challenges.California judge rejects bid to reopen 123-year-old law school | ReutersMark Esper, former U.S. Secretary of Defense, joined Squire Patton Boggs as a part-time senior adviser, where he will focus on advising clients on national security and foreign policy. Although Esper has extensive experience in government and previously worked for defense contractor Raytheon, he will not lobby for the firm's clients in Congress or executive branch agencies. His role will leverage his public policy expertise from over 30 years in high-level government positions.Esper's move comes after his public break with Donald Trump in 2020, particularly over disagreements about invoking the Insurrection Act during protests following George Floyd's murder. He has since emerged as a critic of Trump, calling him a “threat to democracy” while also critiquing President Biden. While at Squire Patton Boggs, Esper will continue his work with venture capital firm Red Cell Partners and European think tank GLOBSEC.The firm views Esper's hire as a key step toward becoming a leader in national security advisory services. His work is expected to focus more on helping multinational corporations navigate the intersection of economic policy and national security rather than direct governmental advocacy.Trump Defense Secretary Esper Joins Squire Patton BoggsEx-Trump defense secretary Esper joins law firm Squire Patton Boggs | ReutersSenate Democrats are working to strike a deal with Republicans to confirm a backlog of President Biden's judicial nominees before the end of the year. Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin is hopeful that Republicans will agree to a package of nominees, a practice that was more common in less partisan times. With the Senate's slim Democratic majority, confirmations have been challenging, particularly for nominees like Rebecca Pennell and Mustafa Kasubhai, whose votes were delayed due to attendance issues and GOP opposition.Some nominees, such as Charnelle Bjelkengren, faced significant hurdles, with Bjelkengren withdrawing earlier this year due to a failed confirmation hearing. Kasubhai, who is still awaiting a vote, has been scrutinized by Republicans over his stance on diversity and past writings. Additionally, Democrats have faced internal opposition, with key senators refusing to support Adeel Mangi's nomination due to allegations of affiliations with controversial groups. The Senate faces a tight deadline, with a limited five-week "lame duck" session following the upcoming election recess, during which they must juggle these nominations alongside other legislative priorities.Democrats Look to Strike Deal With Republicans on Judicial PicksEU antitrust regulators have initiated proceedings to ensure Apple complies with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which requires the company to open its closed ecosystem to rivals. The European Commission aims to clarify what Apple must do to meet its obligations, focusing on iOS interoperability for devices like smartwatches, headphones, and VR headsets, as well as how Apple handles third-party and developer requests for connectivity. The Commission expects to finalize the guidelines within six months, with Apple at risk of fines up to 10% of its annual global turnover if it fails to comply. Apple has expressed willingness to cooperate but warned that opening its systems could expose users to security risks.EU antitrust regulators tell Apple how to comply with tech rules | ReutersAnd something of a double-dip in the Apple news bowl, in a piece I wrote for Forbes I spoke about the European Union's recent win in a legal battle requiring Ireland to collect €13 billion in unpaid taxes from Apple–a significant victory in the fight against multinational tax avoidance. Although the EU's highest court upheld the decision, Ireland remains reluctant to claim the windfall, as doing so could threaten its status as a low-tax haven that attracts large corporations. Ireland had argued, alongside Apple, that the taxes were not owed, reflecting its desire to maintain control over its tax policies.This case highlights the tension between national tax sovereignty and EU regulations aimed at curbing unfair competition through favorable tax deals. While the EU can force Ireland to reclaim the unpaid taxes, it cannot dictate how the country spends the money, leaving the Irish government with a difficult decision. Ireland's low corporate tax rate has been key to its economic growth, but the Apple ruling could have global ramifications as more countries adopt minimum tax frameworks to address tax avoidance by multinational corporations.The case underscores broader issues in international tax law, as countries like Luxembourg and the Netherlands, also known for favorable tax policies, may face similar pressures. While Ireland is legally obligated to collect the money, its cautious approach reflects a concern about maintaining its attractiveness to global businesses. The funds remain in escrow, and Ireland has yet to reveal how it plans to utilize the money, which is equivalent to 2.43% of its GDP.You Can Give Ireland Tax Revenue—But Can You Make Ireland Spend It?

This episode is a 3 in 1! We talk about 3 distinct characters broadcasting to enemy soldiers during WW2. William Joyce, aka Lord Haw Haw, a seemingly confused Irishman with a pretty serious alcohol problem. Mildred Gillers, aka Axis Sally, a failing, racist actress, who would be labelled as particularly stupid by the FBI, and Iva Toguri D'Aquino aka Tokyo Rose, someone who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, trying to survive in Wartime Tokyo. All of them are utilised by the Nazi regime and Imperial Japan during the conflict to varying degrees of success.You can get in touch and book Jonny or Pip for a tour of Berlin via www.whitlams-berlin-tours.com.

William Joyce aka Lord Haw Haw was Ireland's most notorious Nazi. Raised in the west of Ireland he was an unlikely spokesman for Hitler's Third Reich. Nevertheless millions tuned in to his sinister broadcasts on behalf of the Nazi regime during the Second World War. This podcast follows his journey from Galway to Hitler's Third Reich. In his teenage years, he acted as a scout for the Black and Tans and was implicated in one of the most notorious murders of the Irish War of Independence. This set the stage for his rise through violent far-right extremism, which eventually led him to Nazi Germany.Support the show and get access to my exclusive series on the Outbreak of the Troubles https://patreon.com/irishpodcastCheck out my episode on Ireland Redaktion which explores the history of Nazi propaganda towards Ireland https://shows.acast.com/irishhistory/episodes/irland-redaktion-world-war-ii-nazi-propaganda-in-ireland-125 Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/irishhistory.

This episode is a conversation with Eilidh Young. Originally from Penmore in North West Mull, Eilidh lives in Lochdon, where she was the head of Lochdonhead Primary for many years. Our conversation brings the North of Mull to life during the second world war, so much so that we'll hear what the infamous Lord Haw Haw, Nazi Propogandist on ‘Germany Calling' had to say to the people of Tobermory one evening. Eilidh has tales of herself and her father, her training in Edinburgh at Moray House, her work as a teacher in St Neots, Murihouse and of course here on Mull. Eilidh and I spoke in December in the midst of a great big storm, which you'll hear in the background to our chat. Image of Eilidh Young courtesy of Meriel Young, with thanks! Thanks for listening!

During World War II, a new medium gave people on the homefront the kind of insight into the frontlines they had lacked during World War I: Radio. This relatively new technology enabled political figures such as Winston Churchill to warn of the dangers on Nazism even before the war. But radiowaves are not confined by national boundaries and the British were not the only ones to see the usefulness of this technology during war time. In 1939, listeners in the UK began hearing seemingly British yet unwelcome messages over the radio. In this episode I explore, Lord Haw Haw and the Nazi's radio propaganda machine.

Nazi propagandist William Joyce, best known to British radio listeners as ‘Lord Haw Haw', was hanged by Albert Pierrepoint at Wandsworth Prison on 3rd January, 1946. At the peak of his powers, his anti-Allied broadcasts from Hamburg reached up to 50% of the UK listening public, who tuned in to hear the German perspective on the looming confrontations, correspondence from British prisoners of War, and Joyce's compelling, menacing, yet gossipy delivery of Hitler's aims and accomplishments. And a bit of Jazz. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how there were not just one, but in fact three ‘Lords Haw Haw'; consider how Joyce leaned into his celebrity status during World War II; and reveal how his fraudulently-obtained British passport helped to seal his fate on the hangman's noose…  Further Reading: ‘Treason law reform and the Lord Haw-Haw case 75 years on' (House of Lords Library, 2020): https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/treason-law-reform-and-the-lord-haw-haw-case-75-years-on/ ‘Lord Haw-Haw: popularity of wartime Nazi propagandist made the BBC up its game' (The Conversation, 2021): https://theconversation.com/lord-haw-haw-popularity-of-wartime-nazi-propagandist-made-the-bbc-up-its-game-150787#:~:text=Haw-Haw%2C%20wrote%20Hobson%2C%20had%20increased%20the%20nation%E2%80%99s%20Christmas,made%20an%20impact%20because%20he%20faced%20no%20contradiction. ‘Germany Calling: Lord Haw Haw's Final Broadcast' (Station Bremen, 1945): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe-THrWu_4I #40s #WW2 #Nazis #Germany Love the show?

Tying up our 'summer' specials (now autumn), part 4 of 3 (whoops) is this special on radio as propaganda in World War 2. The non-BBC story. Sefton Delmer sent black propaganda from near Bletchley Park into Germany, as Lord Haw-Haw did the opposite, sending radio propaganda from Germany back into Britain. Meanwhile Hilda Matheson (remember her from two episodes ago?) was sending transmissions from the JBC - the Joint Broadcasting Committee - in Woburn Abbey, also near Bletchley Park. And somehow between here, there and everywhere, bouncing between Germany and Britain and across Europe, somehow involving MI5 and Ian Fleming, there's that man again... Peter Eckersley. It's quite a tale, and here to bring it to you is Tim Wander (author of 2MT Writtle and From Marconi to Melba) and Edward Stourton (author of Auntie's War). Plus with the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, we bring you the first broadcast from the most broadcast person in the world (I think) - aged 14, Princess Elizabeth on The Children's Hour in 1940. Next episodes from here? Well it's the end of our summer specials, but the start of our centenary specials! The regular episodes in our 1923 timeline will return in the New Year. But first, a few episodes commemorating and celebrating 100 years of British broadcasting - including an episode on 100 Years in 100 Minutes... and for that we need you!

The BBC in WW2 is our focus for the third of our summer specials - longer-form chats with brilliant authors and their take on a century of British broadcasting. This time meet Auntie's War author and BBC presenter (Today, Sunday, The World at One, and plenty more), Edward Stourton. We can only ever scratch the surface in half an hour (what, no John Snagge?) - but it's a helicopter view of the key moments, from Munich to victory marches in Italy.

Professor Mark Cornwell charts the history of treason in Britain. He tells Kev Lochun how a handful of high profile cases – from Anne Boleyn and the gunpowder plotters to Lord Haw Haw – can shed light on the evolving nature of individual rights versus the power of the state.

This American traitor used the pseudonym 'Paul Revere' when he broadcast over the airways. But it was the pro-Nazi and anti-Semitic agenda that dominated Douglas Chandler's radio show that was problematic for the United States government, not his nom de plume.

GORDON KERR author of BRITISH TRAITORS: Betrayal & Treachery in the Twentieth Century chats to Paul Burke about soy hysteria pre-WWI, the men and women who betrayed their country for money and ideology, The Cambridge spies, Lord Haw Haw and George Blake, not to mention his novel A Partisan Heart. BRITISH TRAITORS Capital punishment for murder was suspended in Great Britain in 1965, an Act finally made permanent in 1969, but remained as the punishment for treason until as recently as 1998, demonstrating how seriously we take the crime of betraying your country. But even with the threat of the noose hanging over them, many still chose the path of treachery during the cataclysmic events of last century.British Traitors examines the lives and motivations of a number of the perpetrators of this most heinous of crimes, following the footsteps of Fascist traitors such as William Joyce (Lord Haw-Haw) and John Amery to the gallows, investigating what drove men such as Wilfred Macartney and John Herbert King to betray their country during the war to end all wars and delving into the mysterious web of espionage and subterfuge surrounding the Cambridge Spy Ring that spied for the Soviet Union from the nineteen-thirties until the early Nineteen-Fifties.People commit treason for many reasons - some seek adventure, some seek reward, some are motivated by political philosophy, while others are sucked into it by their own foolishness. British Traitors provides a fascinating look at the lives and impulses of those who chose to betray their country.Gordon Kerr worked in bookselling and publishing before becoming a full-time writer.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of one of the world's most famous propaganda broadcasters. But William Joyce - better known as ‘Lord Haw Haw' - was just one cog in a much bigger machine of World War II-era propaganda radio aimed at these islands. Irland-Redaktion was certainly a bold attempt at utilizing the power of radio, but was anybody listening? Gavan was joined by Donal Fallon for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

William Joyce – Lord Haw Haw – broadcast propaganda from Germany to Britain. Everyone thought he was British and wanted him to be hanged. He was in fact American, but that did not save him.

In this practically feature length episode of That Time When, we continue our theme that nothing ever really changes. Just as there are apologists for Putin in this country now, so too were there Nazi apologists during World War Two. One such famous propagandist was Lord Haw-Haw and we get stuck into the details of his life, why he was such an awful person, and why the town of Worthing might have, for once, been an exciting place. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this day in 1946, William Joyce, better known to the British as Lord Haw-Haw, was put to death for betraying his country on behalf of Nazi Germany. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

In this episode we discuss William Joyce - AKA Lord Haw-Haw - Treachery, Treason and High Treason.

May 1st, 2020, marks the 75th anniversary of the last broadcast of one of Britain's most infamous traitors. William Joyce was known to millions as Lord Haw Haw. Between 1939 and 1945 he broadcast from Germany to British homes, trying to undermine morale on the Home Front.Despite his crude propaganda, he attracted a huge audience. His execution remains controversial; did the British courts have the right to hang him when so many others who betrayed the country escaped with prison sentences?This is the story of patriot-turned-traitor, WIlliam Joyce.

Malvern is located in Southwest Iowa. This is a really small town similar to most of the small towns we visited in Iowa. Agriculture is the main economy here, but for Malvern, they have a claim to fame that gives them a tourism angle. Malvern Manor is here and is reputedly one of the most haunted buildings in America. This was a former hotel that became a place for the discarded people of society. Could this be why this place has so many spirits locked inside of it today? We got to take a tour of the place and also had the opportunity to do a mini investigation. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of Malvern Manor! The Moment in Oddity features the worst hole of golf ever and This Month in History features Lord Haw Haw executed.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, It’s our annual St Patrick’s Day episode. In this episode, we explore the stories of two Irish Americans very few people remember, but who in their day were quite famous. One is William Joyce, who was known during World War II as Lord Haw Haw. He was the voice of Nazi propaganda that Germany broadcast to England during the course of the war. And the other is Virginia Tighe, who in the late 1950s was also known as Bridey Murphy. This was due to a famous incident involving hypnosis and the specter of reincarnation. You won't want to miss these two intriguing stories that involve Nazis and reincarnation. 

During the Second World War millions of Britons tuned in nightly to hear the broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw coming from Nazi Germany. Though the label was broadly applied to a number of English-speaking broadcasters, it was most famously associated with William Joyce. In Searching for Lord Haw-Haw: The Political Lives of William Joyce (Routledge, 2016), Colin Holmes provides a study of Joyce's life that unravels many of the mysteries and misconceptions surrounding it. He chronicles Joyce's early years in Ireland, where his work as an informer and his family's association with the British during the War of Independence led to his relocation to London after the Irish won their independence. There he quickly found a home in the embryonic Fascist movement, in which became a leading figure. His clashes with Oswald Mosley in the mid-1930s brought about Joyce's purge from the British Union of Fascists in 1937 and the formation of his own National Socialist League. Yet it was Joyce's relocation to Germany on the eve of war in 1939 that won him the attention he long craved, as he quickly established himself as the Nazi's leading English-language propagandist. As Holmes shows, however, this fame came at a price, as Joyce's efforts on behalf of Germany led after the end of the war to his arrest and execution for treason the last person in British history to face such an ignominious end.

Perhaps the best adaptation of a Kurt Vonnegut work, Mother Night stars Nick Nolte as Howard W. Campbell, Jr. an American playwright whose Nazi broadcasts may have helped America win the war. But, at what cost?

On the 3rd of January 1946 Britain's most famous wartime traitor was hanged. His name was William Joyce but he was better known as Lord Haw Haw.
