Background: The Germans began television broadcasts in 1935 in
Berlin, and later in several other cities. Since television sets were
expensive, they established a dozen television watching rooms around Berlin
where people could watch for free. For examples of Nazi television in
action, see a DVD titled Television
under the Swastika: The History of Nazi Television.
