TIL Nazi Germany employed an American citizen, nicknamed "Axis Sally", to disseminate propaganda to US soldiers during WWII. She was later convicted of treason.

Seems like she did less than Facebook and Twitter and was paid less.
Japan did the same thing, using Iva Toguri Aquino ("Tokyo Rose") to promulgate propaganda to U.S. soldiers in the Pacific, during WWII.

Apparently that's a misconception. It says she refused to say anything anti-American and used nuanced english to subvert the broadcasts.
Edit: Actually, the "Tokyo Rose" I was referring to was a specific person, not what you linked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iva_Toguri_D%27Aquino
Edit again: Actually you were talking about her. What I said stands, about her specifically.
