Edward Leo Delaney (December 12, 1885 – July 1, 1972) was an American broadcaster of Nazi propaganda during World War II. He was indicted on charges of treason in 1943, but after the war the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. == Early life == Delaney was born in Olney, Illinois.〔http://www.justice.gov/criminal/foia/records/ezra-pound-p1.pdf〕 Delaney began an acting career about 1910, playing the part of Blackie Daw in one of Cohan and Harris's road companies' productions of ''Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford''. Delaney left the troupe in 1915 for Australia, where he played the part of The Killer in ''Seven Keys to Baldpate'' (play) in Josephine Cohan's company. In the early 1920s, Delaney returned to the United States as a theatrical tour manager and in 1934 he published his first book, ''The Lady By Degrees'', followed in 1935 by ''The Charm Girl''.〔http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,849257,00.html Radio: Mr. Wisecrack - TIME Magazine, May 20, 1940〕 From 1935 to 1939, Delaney was employed by the Transoceanic Film Export Company of New York City, traveling to various European countries. In 1937–1938 Delaney went to Germany to write, returning to the U.S. in early 1939. In December 1939 he left the U.S. for Italy. Then through his contacts from his involvement with the ultra-right and Coughlinite politics, he was recruited by the Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft (RRG) to present a series of pro-German broadcasts from an American perspective for its U.S.A.
