==Propaganda for Nazi Germany==
Back in Germany, Kaltenbach became a full-time broadcaster reading news bulletins for the RRG's U.S.A. Zone.

From 1940 to 1941 Kaltenbach broadcast ’Letters to Iowa’ to the United States directed at the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwestern_United_States American Midwest]. His programs consisted of anti-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt Roosevelt], anti-British and pro-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolationism isolationism] propaganda disguised in the form of fictional letters back home.

Kaltenbach’s objectives were to prevent President [http://real-life-heroes-and-good-guys.wikia.com/wiki/Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt Franklin D.Roosevelt]'s re-election to a third term of office, to block the pro-interventionist faction in the U.S. and to stop the enactment of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease Lend-Lease Bill].
