Robert Henry Best (April 16, 1896 – December 16, 1952) was an American foreign correspondent who covered events in Europe for American media outlets during the interwar period. He later became a supporter of the Nazis and a well known broadcaster of Nazi propaganda during World War II.
One of these was Robert Henry Best, a South Carolinian who began reporting from Europe in the 1920s. In his transmissions from Berlin, Best attacked Communism, Jewish people, and the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. He also denied that he was working for Nazi Germany.
By shortwave, his broadcasts reached perhaps 150,000 Americans during twice-an-evening broadcasts. Best coined such phrases as “Jewnited States,” and even the Nazis found him extreme. Convicted in the United States of treason after the war, Best died in prison in 1952.
