"Nazi TV" Topic

YouTube link

I'm not that old. But I'm old enough to remember when there were only 3 channels and soap operas had names like "Secret Storm," "The Edge of Night" and "Search for Tomorrow."
I guess in Nazi Germany they had "Secret Police," "The Edge of Berlin," and "Search for Goering's Gold."
Jes' kiddin'! Interesting video, thanks for posting!

I knew they had Television in Germany during the 1930s but had no idea how advanced it got by WWII. A pretty remarkable achievement.

Well it wasn't "Leave It To Beaver".

No, it was "Leave It To Bormann."

Oh that is brilliant.

I thought the UK almost had the early TV monopoly, broadcasting from Ally Pally. (I should remember that site well as the second time I saw the Grateful Dead on Tour, early 70s, but, for some reason, I was unconscious throughout)

What marvellous imaging. I would bet the broadcast quality was nothing like we see. That microphone appears so many times and looks so dated. How amusing that the viewers preferred sports to political broadcasts. Watch the quality of the football that they do show, no VAR back then.

What about the treatment of women? See the Strength Though Joy lass who meets her beau, who clearly rose to the occasion, but made an honest women of her (or so she hoped, a T34 might have changed that).

What about the jolly bilateral amputees? They can dance with the girls, but one must hope the explosion was selective for limbs only, or else there is a sad ending.

What about the "Banality of Evil"? The price of potatoes. How come so many look so far from idealised Aryans? There is the odd (I mean occasional) blonde girl, but the adults are far from the Nordic ideal that was expected.

My last comment. Hitler drives through that square, standing up in his limo. Indeed it is the Adolf Hitler Platz, we are told. But if it had been Dealey Plaza, it did strike me, how might the world have changed?

This is a brilliant find. Tango will be heartbroken

In the USSR, television also existed by that time.

In 1931, transmissions of "mechanical" television began in Moscow, Leningrad, and a little later in Odessa. Moscow broadcast 12 times a month for 60 minutes, Leningrad and Odessa – irregularly. On May 1, 1932, a short film was shown on television, filmed on the morning of that day on Pushkin Square, Tverskaya and Red Square. The film was sound. In October 1932, television showed a film about the opening of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station.

In December 1933, transmissions of "mechanical" television in Moscow were stopped; electronic television was recognized as more promising. The first television broadcast from Moscow took place on November 15, 1934. It lasted 25 minutes and was a pop concert. The basis of the short-line television program was pop music and fragments of theatrical performances (ballet, opera). But it should be noted that the program also included programs on socio-political topics: speeches by people's commissars, leading production workers, famous pilots, and writers. In Leningrad, regular television broadcasting began in the summer of 1938.

1939 The Leningrad television studio showed its first dramatic performance – R. Sander's drama "The Secret". A lot of attention was paid in Leningrad to the search for forms of variety performances. Performances were also shown. Children's broadcasting began in January 1939 with the program "Happy New Year." In 1940, children saw the New Year's play "Bunny House." Since 1939, a weekly photo newspaper began to be published. The photographs, accompanied by a voiceover, told about the most important events of the past week. In 1941, the monthly television magazine "Around Leningrad" appeared on the air. His hour-long program consisted of editorials, photo newspapers and speeches.
