You Can't Do Business with Hitler is a pre-WWII anti-Nazi propaganda radio program based on the true-life experiences of Douglas Miller, a former employee of the US Embassy in Berlin. Created by the Office For Emergency Management, the show reveals the dishonest trade deals and sinister methods of the Nazi regime, which Miller witnessed firsthand during the 1930s in Germany. Fearful that Nazi economic and social systems could make their way to America, Miller became a staunch opponent of the regime. The show, directed by Frank Telford and written by Elwood Hoffman, explores narratives of Nazi offenses, such as mass murder, repression of religion, suppression of education, and more. It serves as an important historical documentation of the dangers associated with doing business with Hitler's regime during the lead-up to World War II.
