Ok, I realise this content may offend some but I'm not posting it in order to promote Nazism or anything like that. If just the idea of seeing Nazi's offends you then my best suggestion is to hit the back button on your browser and ignore the thread.
I came across this stuff the other night and found it pretty interesting, and also incredibly sinister in parts! In regards to the advancement of television the Nazi's were well ahead of the game. Having live broadcasts before anyone else, having higher line broadcast (in 1940 they were working on 1000 and 2000 line television broadcasting) and much more. Of course it wasn't really used to entertain as such, and was used simply as a way of promoting the Nazi agenda and propaganda. Still, an interesting but very dark moment in television history. The remark about "concert camps" is a very chilling thing indeed now that we know the history of the period.
