Famous Berlin Film Star Joins B.B.C.
GOEBBELS, the Nazi propaganda concoctor, got a big shock one night recently when he listened as it is known he does-to the B.B.C. German language broadcast. He heard the voice of Karl Sicpauck, one of Germany's most popular film stars, scotch quite a lot of faked news given to the German people about Britain.
Only a few weeks ago Goebbels himself congratulated Kari Stepanek on his latest Berlin- produced film, "Women Are Better Diplomits."
Stepanek left almost at once for a holiday, and—after an adventurous journey- through Europe-reached London.
Millions of Germans know Stepanek by sight and voice through his films, and probably some of them had seen him on the screen only an hour or two before hearing lim talk to them from London.

"Now I am going to destroy the Goebbels fairy tales and tell the Germans the truth-and I am sure they will believe me,"
This is the Orst time that a Germün broadenst by the BRC, has mentioned the name of the speaker, Previously all talks were anonymous.
Her Stepanek, who is the farmer husband of Miss Wanda Rotha, who won fame on the London stage, will probably broadcast regularly in the B.B.C. German news bulletins.
