Dear Adolf is a captivating radio show featuring a series of six narrative letters, based on actual correspondence penned by Americans to Adolf Hitler during World War II. These vignettes offer insight into the U.S. public opinion of Hitler and the Nazi regime at that time. Written by Stephen Vincent Benét, the program was designed as a "fight-talk program," a type of network-based propaganda show aimed at boosting popular support for the war. Each letter in Dear Adolf is narrated by a different character, including a farmer, a mother, a businessman, a laborer, a U.S. soldier, and an Austrian-born naturalized American citizen, portraying diverse perspectives and sentiments toward the dictator.</p><p>Produced in 1942, Dear Adolf aired as part of the network's effort to boost support for the war through specially created programs. While the broadcast network and production names are not mentioned, the show gained enough recognition for its content to be featured in Time Magazine's August 3, 1942 issue. Additional contexts, such as the number of episodes aired and still existing today or notable actors involved in the production, have not been provided. However, the collection also features over 180 World War II-era posters, and for those interested in similar shows, other programs like Man Behind the Gun, Hitler Speeches, Soldiers of the Press, Words At War, and You Can't Do Business with Hitler may be of interest.
