Soldatensender Calais was a British black propaganda broadcaster during the Second World War operated by the Political Warfare Executive. It pretended to be a station of the German military broadcasting network ("Soldier's Radio Calais"). The station was in operation from 1943 to April 1945, when it ceased operations.
Soldatensender Calais operated on the mediumwave band, with an associated shortwave station Kurzwellesender Atlantik. The station used a 600-kiloWatt transmitter originally built for American broadcaster WLW in Cincinnati, and operated from 6 PM local time to dawn.
