He was criticized for broadcasting from Berlin where he was interned during WW2. Files recently released by MI5 show that he was not a Nazi collaborator, just rather naive. But, embarrassed, he exiled himself to America and became an American citizen in 1955.
2016: his archive was acquired by the British Library.
