There’s evidence that the nazis at least knew about the claim, but everything I’ve ever found backs you up 100%, there’s no evidence that the nazis ever fell for or or dismissed it. I can’t imagine anyone gave it more than a minute’s thought though, like even back then it was pretty transparently silly.
I don’t think the Brits ever figured out if it was successful OR unsuccessful. Propaganda can be funny like that. XD
This lie was repeated for years in American pop culture, so I think then and future generations of Americans fell for it more than the Germans did.
i mean, that tracks lol
