The program offers a unique insight into Americans' opinions of Hitler and the Nazi regime. Written by Stephen Vincent Benét, Dear Adolf was produced as a "fight-talk program" which aimed to boost popular support for the war through network-based propaganda. The show, which features letters from individuals from various backgrounds, such as a farmer, mother, businessman, laborer, US soldier, and an Austrian-born naturalized American citizen, highlights their hopes, fears, and strong feelings towards Hitler and the war.

Produced in 1942, Dear Adolf was part of a collection of WWII-era programs that also included Man Behind the Gun, Hitler Speeches, Soldiers of the Press, Words at War, and You Can't Do Business with Hitler.
