Yes, I did a paper for a college history class about the War of the Worlds radio broadcast. It was at the time that Hitler was making his march into Poland and this was before the US entered the war. Many people hearing the radio broadcast thought it was Hitler attacking the east coast. Orson Wells and his genius mind at work but I don’t think he had any idea that he would cause a panic.

yes is caused a lot of panic. I didn’t know about the fear of Hitler at that point. I had heard that people really thought it was a real alien invasion… So thanks for that info :-)
