The bremsstrahlung emission rate of soft photons in a nonrelativistic plasma, immersed in a magnetic field, is calculated. Attention is focused on the strong-field case, whence only transitions between Landau ground levels are to be included. The results of Canuto and Chiu (1971) are generalized to an arbitrary direction of photon propagation. It is found that emission in a general direction is far more intense than that in the special cases dealt with by Canuto and Chiu; the transition responsible for this strong emission differs from that playing the dominant role in those special cases. For the calculation, the wave modes in the plasma are quantized as devised by Harris (1969, 1972). The technique of ladder operators is employed to derive the electron wave function and the pertinent matrix elements.
