| 词源 | Lord Hawhaw. Lord Hawhaw was the name for several an- nouncers who broadcast to England from Nazi Germany dur- ing World War II. William Joyce (1906–46) earned the sobri- quet for his mocking broadcasts. The American-born British fascist is examined at some length in Rebecca West’s brilliant The Meaning of Treason (1947). Joyce was captured after the war, adjudged a British subject because he held a passport, and hanged for his crimes. |
