During World War II, radio deutschland was used by German national socialists for propaganda purposes. The station is also used to target dissidents. Some stations were broadcast to the occupied territories.

For example, Wagner's opera Tristan und Isolde has been broadcast on more than 200 stations. Many people have been able to tune into classical music thanks to the radio.

In addition, the occupying powers encouraged the production of cultural content in their region. Radio was one of the products subsidized by the Third Reich.

Volksempfanger, a popular radio program, is an easy and inexpensive way to follow news and other local events. Hundreds of thousands of people tune into it.

Other notable radio programs include The Chief, which was broadcast for the German army. It made disparaging comments about the leaders of the Nazi Party. Some German armies tune in nightly for news, entertainment and erotic gossip.

After Allied forces entered Germany in 1944, some radio stations began broadcasting again. These stations broadcast propaganda to the occupying forces. They are broadcast on medium waves.

Another major propaganda station is "Radio Humanite", which claims to be the voice of underground communism. It uses a portable transmitter 20 kW per 255 kHz.

Another famous propaganda program is Volksempfanger. It is an inexpensive radio and is available to most people. In addition to news and other programs, Volksempfanger plays popular music.

Television journalists covered everything from the sports sector to the mines in the Ruhr region. Unlike newspapers, the program broadcasts live.
