"Our counterfeit of the 'Radio of the Italian Fascist Republic' required
much technical skill ... It was Goebbels himself who presented us with the
opportunity for a try-out against the Italians. Otto Skorzeny and his SS
commandos had recently rescued Mussolini from his Italian anti-Fascist
captors and enabled him to set up a Fascist Republican Government in North
Italy. Goebbels immediately provided him with a radio station so that he
could continue to inspire the Italian public with his 'dynamism'."
Delmer goes on to explain that, using two Italian prisoners who had
previously been professional announcers, the British broadcast their fake
version of the station on a neighbouring frequency. While much of the
material was a straight relay, at certain appropriate points they would
replace the original programming with their own material but in such a way
that listeners would not be aware of the switch. This was designed to turn
the Italians against Mussolini and included material that was 'rude and
hostile to His Holiness the Pope'.
According to Delmer, the original Munich broadcasts were on shortwave but,
because of the British 'black' operation, Goebbels had them transferred to
the regional medium-wave station at Munich, 'to the great indignation of
the Bavarians who were furious at losing their own radio entertainment".
