During WWII, Mildred became a powerful weapon in the hands of the Nazis and was forced to sing defeatist war propaganda to US soldiers based in Europe. Terrorized by Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's right-hand man, Mildred broadcast hate-filled messages in order to survive the dark and dangerous world of the Third Reich.
