The word 'propaganda' might suggest some form of misinformation - yet in boosting morale during World War Two, the British government had to maintain a careful balancing act. While employing a range of psychological tricks, they had to be seen to be as truthful as possible ... "The MOI [Ministry of Information] used the notion of the barbarous Hun - first exploited on a massive scale in World War One - to show that they were still the 'same aggressor'," Welch tells BBC Culture ... The government declared a "Red Army Day", marked in British cities with pageants and music. "Joseph Stalin, who had previously been depicted in British propaganda as a deceitful and conniving dictator, was suddenly transmogrified into an avuncular 'Uncle Joe'," writes Welch.

The Fake News hounds rewrite history and try to tell us that the Germans gassed their Russian prisoners of war as part of the Holohoax.

During Operation Barbarossa the German army captured five million Soviet prisoners of war.

The majority of them never returned alive. More than a million Soviet Jews were murdered by death squads and gassing as part of the Holocaust.
