The most notorious traitor of them all similar to "Tokyo Rose." "Lord Haw-Haw",(the title came from his sneering voice,) he began regular work on German radio in Sept.1939 and he began his broadcasts with the phrase,"Jairmany calling, Jairmany calling." Joyce, son of an Irish-born naturalised American was taken to Ireland when he was three and later moved to England. While studying in London he discovered a taste for right-wing politics and a gift for oratory. He became propagander chief of Oswald Mosely's British Union of Fascists, and in order to go to the Nuremberg Rally in 1933,he got a British passport. On the application form he falsely gave Galway as his place of birth. It was a lie that was to hang Joyce, for it refuted his plea at his Old Bailey treason trial in 1945 that he was an American national but a naturalised German since1940.he did not deny being "Lord Haw-Haw" and was hanged.
