British Psychological Warfare Executive

The British Psychological Warfare Executive (PWX) was an organization formed during World War II to influence enemy morale and public opinion through psychological tactics. Established in 1941, it aimed to disseminate propaganda, disrupt communication, and promote defection among enemy ranks, particularly targeting German forces. By utilizing radio broadcasts, leaflets, and other media, the PWX sought to undermine the enemy's resolve and bolster the Allied cause. Its work was a crucial part of the broader strategy of warfare that recognized the importance of the mind in conflicts, blending military action with psychological operations.
