Subject: Brainwashing exposing propaganda, (so called).

FDR Fireside chats=Goooood.
Hitler pointing out Allied hypocrisy=Baaaaad.
Film depicts how radio and screen were used by FDR and Hitler, to further their war goals. Since this report was made by the victors, it will not portray Hitler as the Man for Peace. Watch and listen how FDR justifies the confiscation of gold from citizen "hoarders" in 1933.
