I beg to differ, you can hide subliminal messages in audio and it does work.

Glenn Miller's music was designed to dishearten the Wermacht?

Gosh, the things one learns in one's old age. As I recall, the Ship's Service jukeboxes played Glenn Miller all day long. I guess we didn't know it was designed to subvert the German General Command and all its troops.

By the way, does one have to play those old 78's backwards to get the disheartening message? Come to think of it, never once did I ever hear Miller's 78's being played backwards.

But live and learn, I suppose.

Subliminal audio messaging is typically done by masking the audio message with a louder sound, rather than reversing the audio. In otherwords, a low level voice would be mixed with a high level audio source like music which would mask, rather than eliminate or over-write the initial message.

Sure you did. Don't you remember his big song, 5000 6 Pennsylvania?

Thank you for your service to our countery.
Glenn's AFF music show (in German) is out on CD (LaserLite, I believe) I mean, I was shocked when Johnny D started to sing in German (wer wußte?) [LaserLite has many GM recordings obtained from the AAF archives, most likely to save on royality fees. Very interesting look at WWII music, schratchs and all : ) ]

The theme was - give up and go to home, hearth and family. It was broadcast on MW and SW. Early psyops, no doubt.

H*ll, I got all broke up and I sit here in Alaska 50 years after the fact.
BTW, understanding the German language helps when listening to the old recordings.
