Abstract
"How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler" by Peter Pomerantsev explores the World War II activities of Sefton Delmer, a British propagandist who used a fake radio station to unsettle German listeners and undermine Nazi propaganda. Delmer's insider-outsider knowledge of Germany and his manipulative skills allowed him to cultivate relationships with prominent Nazis, while also sounding the alarm about Hitler's potential. The book highlights Delmer's use of "black" propaganda to disrupt the Nazi regime and widen the rift between the party and the German people. The author also draws parallels between propaganda in Nazi Germany and modern-day Russia, emphasizing the need for effective counter-narratives and technological defenses against information warfare.
