1935-1984

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/1115899

This series consists of audio recordings made of foreign broadcasts during World War II, collected by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) headquarters during the course of investigation of three individuals: Iva Toguri D'Aquino (a.k.a. "Tokyo Rose"), John David Provoo, and Herbert Erasmus Moy. Of note in this series are complete broadcasts of the Radio Tokyo programs "She Met Napoleon," "Philippine Independence," and "Humanity Calls," which were written by, and aired under the direction of Radio Tokyo employees and prominently featured American prisoners of war from Camp Bunka, including Provoo and many others. In some cases, these broadcasts were obtained by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents from former Radio Tokyo employees, and as such may be of higher aural quality than U.S. government monitored broadcasts. Recordings of Moy consist of anti-American and anti-Western commentary and also include broadcasts of "Asia Views the News" aired over Chinese radio during World War II. These recordings were made by the FBI's Beaverton, Oregon monitoring station, and vary in aural quality.
