It's not as easy as you might think. What is propaganda anyway? As some of you know, before he became a teacher, Mr. Donn spent a career in Military Intelligence as a member of the SSA at NSA (the National Security Agency, or the No-Name Agency, as they like to say in the movies.) This 45-55 minute lesson includes propaganda materials we don't often see as they are typically dropped in massive quantities over enemy territory. Very neat stuff!
