WAS THE KING OF SWING SILENCED BY BULLET OF A US HITMAN?

17:32 - 26 February 2003

King of Swing Glenn Miller was a bisexual whose music had hidden subliminal messages used to brainwash German troops, a sensational new investigation claims. And although the bandleader is officially listed as dead, lost in an air crash over the Channel, fresh evidence suggests he was murdered by US secret service hitmen in the red-light district of Paris.

The musician, whose body has never been found, may have been assassinated because he had threatened to blow the whistle on a group of gay officers involved in US undercover operations in various parts of Europe from their base in Bedfordshire.

Martin W Bowman, who has written more than 60 books about military and commercial aviation, reveals the theory in The Bedford Triangle, which examines the role of the US Army Air Force, the American Office of Strategic Services and Britain's Special Operations Executive in World War II.

More than half a century on, little has been revealed about highly sensitive and secret work conducted in country houses and from airfields in Bedfordshire.

But Mr Bowman has gained a tantalising glimpse of the cloak and dagger operations, drawing on dozens of first-hand eye witness accounts.

Miller, America's most famous musician, arrived at Milton Ernest Hall, near Bedford, in July 1944, supposedly to boost morale.

General Dwight D Eisenhower, the Supreme Allied Commander, had demanded his presence.

On December 15, Miller and two others went missing, presumed killed, when their Norseman UC-64 crashed into the sea after taking off from RAF Twinwoods for Paris.

"Many people believe that perhaps the true reason for his disappearance has been covered up," says Mr Bowman who thinks that Miller's music contained secret messages.

"Known as subliminal or 'message under the music' technique, it is a method of putting a hidden message through to a person's subconscious without the conscious mind being aware," he said.

Miller's music was transmitted to the German Army on Wehrmacht Hour to help undermine morale - and this was where any covert messages would have been heard.

People soon noticed that the once affable Major Miller - whose sexuality had been questioned - was becoming tense and missing appointments. According to the British bandleader Geraldo he showed signs of cracking up.

"He said he had no doubts that the band would go back, but he would never see America again. He told Geraldo this many, many times," says Mr Bowman. "A lot of friends in the music business felt that, when it was said that he had died in this aircraft, they didn't quite believe it."

Miller's name was added to the death log some days after the crash.

In the meantime, his personal belongings had been packed up and moved away.

Retired US air force serviceman James E Norwood was one of those 'disappeared' by US intelligence services and given a new identity.

He says: "I know something about the crash that Glenn was alleged to have died in. There was no crash. The entire incident was staged by the intelligence services to cover something up."

Norwood said he and Miller were in a 'squabble' with some top brass who infiltrated the officer corps.

Mr Bowman says: "It seems that they, meaning the members of the group, were predisposed to homosexuality and were attempting to impose their values on others, officers and enlisted men, through harassment, intimidation, malassignment and the like.

"In retaliation, the bandleader may have threatened to 'spill the beans' and 'break the network' wide open.

"At this point the American high command would have to 'retire' Miller from the scene and eliminate a potential breach of security without drawing attention to any covert operations still in force.

"The corruption went right to the top. It still does, as the massive cover-up continues to this day."

MR Bowman reveals that witnesses in Paris claim to have seen Miller drinking in a bar in the Pigalle in Paris on the supposed night of his death.

Then a Parisian brothel-keeper claimed one of her customers, a captain in the military police, said that Miller was having a drink when he was shot or fatally hit on the back of the head.

The suggestions that Miller was interested in both sexes was backed by a medium who, when handed a shirt belonging to the bandleader, said he had 'tendencies with both sexes'. The slight bisexuality would never be proved."

The Bedford Triangle, by Martin W Bowman, printed by Sutton Publishing, costs £7.99 in paperback.

There was a show on the Discovery channel (you know the private enterprise broadcast medium the kicks PBS' a$$) a few months ago that explores this theory-about bombers dropping their payloads in the area after an abort mission to bomb Germany. The research that has gone into this theory is very plausible and believable.

My father was in Europe fighting to defend the future enemy of America (France) from the ongoing enemy of America (Germany) during WWII

He said he had it on very good authority that Glenn Miller got into a fistfight with the pilot of the plane- whose wife he was, uh, shtupping. Dad said that the plane landed at its destination sans Miller (tossed out over the channel), and a coverup ensued

Dad was a sober, straightlaced guy, not given to gossip or frivolity. Whether the anecdote is actually true or not, be believed it to be

Paul continued that it was SOP for returning planes to dump their remaining bombs in the sea before landing, and it was a direct hit on the plane carrying Glenn Miller.

I saw a show on this recently and as you mentioned, this seems the most likely explanation.

Evidently the RAF was on mission, but the wheather was bad and too much cloud cover, so they had to dumb the bombs. Unfortunately the dump spot was on the flight path of Miller's plane. One of the pilots saw a plane down there, and it was the same type as Miller's.

fwiw

They were known as bronzefoils then.

What can you say....

It was the marijuana.

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others."

Harry J. Anslinger, testimony to Congress, 1937

"I didn't read the article but can you prove it didn't happen? "

I agree with you. That's real close to the motto of our tin-foil user's group:

If you can't prove it didn't happen then it must be true.

The follow-up line is: "and you are probably part of the cover-up"

I beg to differ, you can hide subliminal messages in audio and it does work. The rest of this article sounds preposterous but then I haven't read the book.

This is more anecdotal... I think the wife has been using subliminals on me for years.

It always struck me as true that if there weren't any women in the world you would also not have any stores that sell, primarily, balloons, candles and the Bed and Bath chain would specialize in power saws and antique firearms.

Lately, I have had to fight this irresistible urge to go buy some balloons...and...scented candles. It must be the subliminals.
