The Glenn Miller Conspiracy
Hunton Downs has a new book entitled The Glenn Miller Conspiracy. Among Glenn Miller fans, it is very controversial because Downs contends that Major Glenn Miller did not disappear in an airplane crash over the English Channel on Dec. 15, 1944, the official story that was announced on Dec. 24, 1944 and reported in every major newspaper in America on Christmas Day.
Instead, according to Downs, the most famous bandleader of the Swing Era was flown into Germany to meet with generals opposed to Hitler. Downs claims that Miller spoke German, but that seems unlikely to anyone who listens to Miller's propaganda broadcasts, which were well-liked in Germany. Listen to this one from late November 1944 with special guest Hollywood actress and singer Irene Manning:
Downs says that anti-Hitler German generals accepted Miller's proposal to send only forces loyal to Hitler to fight against the Allies -- and agreed to alert the Allies in advance so that we could trap German troops while these generals flew to Berlin to take over the government.
According to Downs, Hitler found out about the plan. The Nazis captured and tortured Miller, resulting in his death.
What do you think of this theory? It has some followers. During the past two decades,other theories about Miller's disappearance also have been proposed.
What they have in common is that they assert Miller died under mysterious circumstances and not in a plane crash over the English Channel on Dec. 15th.
