The ‘people's radio’ was the first electronic mass-medium in Germany and gave the National Socialists the opportunity to make propaganda by broadcasting speeches of Hitler and Goebbels. The radio was therefore popularly referred to as ‘Goebbels-Schnauze’. Type designation: VE = Volksempfanger 301 recalls 30-1-1933 (the day that the National Socialists seized power). DYN = (electrical) dynamic speaker W = alternating current The radio was manufactured so that only near (German) country channels were received but hobbyists could also hear channels of the enemy (BBC). However, this was strictly forbidden and punished with prison time (at the time of purchase, a card was included which explained this). Embossed in the bakelite front of the radio (left and right) is the German Eagle with swastika (censored) and also on many radio components such as tube cap, speaker, reel and variable-capacitor.
