Short description
The life of American woman Mildred Gillars and her lawyer, who struggles to redeem her reputation. Dubbed “Axis Sally” for broadcasting Nazi propaganda to American troops during World War II, Mildred’s story exposes the dark underbelly of the Third Reich's hate-filled propaganda machine, her eventual capture in Berlin, and subsequent trial for treason against the United States after the war.
What's left behind the scenes
- By the beginning of 1941, the State Department strongly recommended that US citizens leave Germany and countries within the German sphere of influence. Mildred Gillars (1900-1988) chose to disregard these recommendations because her fiancé, Paul Carlson, a naturalized German, stated that he would never marry her if she returned to the United States. Shortly after, he was drafted and sent to the Eastern Front, where he was killed.
- Mildred Elizabeth Gillars, nicknamed “Sally Seas” (“Axis” referred to the military and economic alliance of Germany, Italy, Japan and other states, which was opposed by the anti-Hitler coalition during World War II), along with Rita Zucca, were American radio broadcasters working for Nazi Germany and spreading Axis propaganda. After the war, Gillars was arrested in Berlin and became the first woman to be tried for treason in the United States, which occurred in March 1949.
