Abstract
This chapter establishes whether the different forms of British white propaganda were consistent. The print and broadcast treatment of a series of key events ranging from the British attack upon the French fleet at Mers-el-Kébir to the D-Day landings in Normandy are compared. The internal planning by Department Electra House, Special Operations Executive propaganda section, Political Warfare Executive and the British Broadcasting Corporation is also evaluated. The propagandists divided the French into three: the apathetic, the anti-British and the pro-British. Adolf Hitler's invasion of the USSR caused pro-Soviet feeling to sweep through Great Britain. Leaflets continued to be dropped after D-Day, but their role was limited. The British propaganda organisations overcame the issues that they encountered, whether these came from objectives bringing them into conflict with other bodies prosecuting the war effort or arose from problems encountered in what propaganda had to report.
