Hosted by Ilsa Weinberg, and broadcast from studios in the UK. Spoken mostly in German, Glenn Miller plays bootleg swing music that Hitler had banned to be played by German radio stations. The attempt at bringing American liberty through music would prove to be short-lived, since in just a month, Glenn Miller would become a casualty of war when his plane flew into the night, never to be heard from again.
