Radio 1212: Operation Annie – WWII Psychological Warfare Book by Hanuš Burger, USSR 1968

Radio 1212 – Operation Annie: A WWII Historical Novel Based on Real Events

A vintage Soviet publication telling the story of one of World War II's secret radio propaganda operations.

Written by Hanuš Burger, who personally participated in Radio 1212, this book examines the activities of the clandestine broadcasting station operated by American forces from Luxembourg during 1944–1945.

The station, known as Radio 1212 or Nachtsender 1212, was involved in Operation Annie, an Allied psychological warfare campaign designed to influence German military personnel and civilians.

Combining historical events with literary storytelling, the book provides a compelling account of military deception, wartime broadcasting, intelligence operations, and propaganda.

This 1968 Russian-language edition was published by Voenizdat, the Soviet military publishing house.

The edition is also an example of Soviet-era political interpretations of World War II and American military intelligence.
