Old Time Radio Fights Nazi Spies

Old Time Radio was an effective medium for WWII propaganda and the topic of Nazi spies was ubiquitous over the airwave as the nation was at war. Old time radio shows in all genres touched on the topic of Nazi spies - adventure, comedy, drama, and even detective radio shows tackled the topic of the Nazi menace.
