This book offers a new perspective on the British experience of
the Second World War in Europe, one in which foreignness and
foreign languages are central to the dynamics of war-making. It
offers a series of snapshots of the role which foreign languages
played in Britain's war - in intelligence gathering (both signals
and human intelligence), in psychological warfare, in preparations
for liberating and occupying the continent, in denazification, in
providing relief for refugees and displaced persons, and in postwar
relationships with the USSR. By mapping the linguistic landscape of
Britain's war in Europe, key aspects of international communication
- translation, language performance, authenticity, language
policies - are seen to be vital to military preparations and
operations.
