Nazi Television in Berlin: 1939

Line

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. This page provides the schedule of television programming for the week of 26 March to 1 April 1939.
