摘要

Continuity remained the watchword in radio policy despite temporary minor schedule changes with the launch of the Red Army offensive in January. The policy of broadcasting more first-class classical music was notable, including that of European composers. The short episode of broadcasts to Alsace is described. Nightly pep talks on the Berlin Drahtfunk (cable radio) provide an illustration of life in a city when the Red Army was just 70–80kms away on the Oder. Several examples of radio carrying on undaunted are examined, e.g. “The Radio Stage”, “Mirror of the Times”, “World Miscellany”. This normality was mirrored in the Easter schedules. The development and the role of the Reich Bruckner Orchestra are described. Attention is drawn to Fritzsche’s continued attention to detail, as well as to the success of soldiers’ broadcast talks. The exaggerated reporting of the V2 rocket attacks on London is handled, along with the growing widespread indifference and distrust in radio claims.
