The chapter starts with a short survey of the Allied bombing offensive. At first, Nazi radio’s reaction was erratic with a varying treatment of raids. Linked with this was the demand of the bombed population for a recognition of their plight, and of Nazi radio having to address to distinct audiences—the bombed and the “unbombed”—at the same time. There was a temporary change in broadcasting policy in summer 1943 with dramatic “on the spot” accounts of raids on the Ruhr and Hamburg, which met with a mixed response. The official reaction to the plight of the raided population was echoed in a sensitivity regarding such matters as the lyrics of popular songs. The introduction of hourly “Air Situation Reports” affected listening habits. There was an expansion of the Drahtfunk (cable radio) with immediate and detailed warnings of impending raids. Additional information services were later added.
