Psychological warfare pays off, if handled
strategically and tactically. Use of the weapon
must be fitted to military circumstances. Not
too much is claimed for it, however. 1t works
best when the enemy morale has already been
shaken by defeats in battle,
In the beginning it was the Nazis who
waged psychological warfare with devastat-

liberation of North Africa We bombarded
faltering Italian troops with a barrage of
words. Whole divisions melted away.
So effective was the PWB campaign in
North Africa that safe-conduct cards dis

are so ambitious they seem to think they'll
capture the whole Italian fleet single-handed,

Three weeks later, the entire Italian Navy,
in response to radio message announcing
the arnistice, steamed into Allied ports.
