Британската информационно-пропагандна дейност в България (1943–1944)
The British Information and Propaganda Activity in Bulgaria (1943–1944)

Summary/Abstract: The major theme of World War II includes the problem of the nature, forms and methods of the British information activity which during the war years bore the signs of war propaganda. The preparation of special radio broadcasts in Bulgarian and the dropping of leaflets by the Allied airforce were problems with direct bearing on Great Britain’s attitude towards Bulgaria and the military events involved. Notwithstanding certain shortcomings, the effect of British propaganda was considerable. It was with particular interest that the Bulgarian listener followed the transmission of the BBC which determined the line of conduct of the other Western radio stations. The British information and propaganda "undertakings", prepared for the Bulgarian population, objectively contributed to the strengthening of the anti-fascist moods in the country. With the care for and the attention to propaganda in general the Western Powers demonstrated their awareness of the high value of the professionally organized psychological pressure for succeeding in the so-called "war of nerves" against Nazi Germany and its accessories.
