Wolf Mittler (1 January 1918 – 11 November 2002) was a German radio host and journalist, known as one of the persons associated with the nickname Lord Haw-Haw. He became internationally known as Lord Haw-Haw on the English language propaganda radio programme Germany Calling, broadcast by Nazi German radio to audiences in Great Britain and the United States, during World War II. Mittler spoke nearly flawless English, as he had learnt it from his mother (who was born in Ireland to German parents) in childhood.〔(Germany calls again as Lord Haw-Haw goes online ), The Irish Times, February 4, 2010〕 During his career broadcasting for Germany Calling, Mittler was reported to find political matters distasteful, and was eventually replaced by Norman Baillie-Stewart (a former British spy for Nazi Germany).〔Doherty, M.

There he became best known for his simultaneous translation of Kennedy's speech addressing the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, and the first manned moonlanding live in 1969, among others.
