Hope this has not been posted yet. Interesting investigative report on Tokyo Rose.
From Wiki:
Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Rose)
Tokyo Rose (alternative spelling Tokio Rose) was a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II) to any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_propaganda). However, Iva Toguri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iva_Toguri) is the most famously linked name behind the Tokyo Rose. She was a native to Los Angeles and was stranded in Japan because she was visiting her family when the war broke out. The intent of these broadcasts was to disrupt the morale of Allied forces listening to the broadcast.

It's the first story in the episode.
