Subject: [Milsurplus] Funk-Abhoer-Berichte  Feb 26  1944 

Thinning out my papers and packing up for another move, i come across many interesting things. I was just looking at a German publication,“Funk-Abhoer-Berichte Sonderband L  U.S.A.  26 Februar 1944”.   This is a ‘Geheim!’  ( classified SECRET ) summary of official radio broadcast news themes from Reich, USSR, U.K. and Empire, and U.S.A. – via shortwave, for the foreign stations, and summarizing broadcasts in all the languagesbroadcast from those senders. The paper it is printed on is, oddly, perforated in approx 5 x 7 cm blocks, and  i would have to guess this is to facilitate manual shredding of the publication after its study. The pages are marked with warnings not to pass on to unauthorized persons.Of course, for any non-authorized German citizen, listening to foreign stations was a crime punishable by 12 months – and up – in prison. I found the honest rendering of the foreign broadcast news interesting. For example, the Voice of America’s news broadcast quoted neutralSwiss newspapers saying Germany could not recover land lost on the Eastern Front, and that Germany had never and could not win a two-frontwar. I wonder how the German propagandists studying this publication could spin that. The website “ americanradiohistory.com  casts a wider net than its name indicates and this publication may possibly eventually appear thereonline. I gave the publisher a German early-WW2 radio broadcast schedule and he said that the large format is a problem but that he wouldtake on the challenge of scanning it. via-Hue MillerNewport, Oregon
