NAZI RADIO PROGRAM FOR THE USA 1941

GERMANY CALLING
THE REICHSSENDER SHORTWAVE
GERMAN RADIO PROGRAM GUIDE
FOR APRIL 1941

This is a very rare old thing, authentic in every respect and in very good condition. It is an 11 x 17 inch (folds to 8-1/2 x 11 inches), 4-page German Library of Information in New York City guide to radio programs broadcast by short-wave from Berlin in Nazi Germany to the United States of America.

The guide is program number 38 for the week of 13 April 1941, and it has an attractive front cover showing the Brandenburg Gate and a radio tower broadcasting from Berlin on a map of Europe. The name of the brochure, GERMANY CALLING, and the call letters and frequencies of the Reichssender or German Broadcast Stations are also shown on the front cover.

Inside, there are everyday and day-by-day listings of all broadcasts by German radio stations in both Eastern Standard Time and Pacific Standard Time for the days from Sunday April 13 through Saturday April 19, 1941.

Programs include the infamous Nazi propagandist “Lord Haw-Haw”, “America Asks - Germany Answers”, “Press Review” by Hans Fritsche, “Action Reports from the Front”, “Military Review”, “From the German Heart”, “Today in Germany”, “German Contributions to Making America”, and many musical programs.

German Library of Information in New York City

On the back cover there is a collage of the publications available from the German Library of Information at 17 Battery Place in New York City. Although this historical piece of World War II radio material was no doubt produced in the offices of Propaganda Minister Dr. Josef Goebbels in Berlin, there is not an eagle or swastika on it anywhere.

Naturally, the German Library of Information discontinued the publication of “Germany Calling” after December 7, 1941 and most Americans, regardless of their persuasion, stopped listening to German radio.

Since the listings in “Germany Calling” went out of date every few weeks and since few Americans would want to have a copy lying around their house during the war, virtually all were destroyed. This might be the only example left on earth!

This 1941 Nazi radio program guide for America is
**SOLD**.
