A True crime Podcast
In this gripping episode of A True Crime Podcast, host Alexander Lawson uncovers the shocking true story of Mildred Elizabeth Gillars — the American woman known as “Axis Sally.” From aspiring actress to Nazi Germany’s most seductive propagandist, Gillars used her silky voice to broadcast defeatist messages, taunt U.S. troops about unfaithful wives, spread anti-Semitic hatred, and demoralize Allied soldiers during World War II. Her infamous “Vision of Invasion” broadcast became the centerpiece of her historic treason trial. Discover how she went from Ohio theater dreams to Berlin radio studios, her dramatic arrest, the explosive 1949 trial that made her the first woman convicted of treason against the United States, and her surprising later life. A chilling tale of propaganda, betrayal, and justice in wartime. Was she a traitor or just a performer caught in the wrong place? Listen now and decide for yourself. New episodes every week.
