RARE ORIGINAL REICHSRUNDFUNK RADIO
DEUTSCHER KLEINEMPFÄNGER DKE1938
A THIRD REICH ARTIFACT OF GREAT IMPORTANCE FOR GERMAN PROPAGANDA
Reich Minister of Propaganda Dr. Joseph Goebbels had the great idea to create affordable radios and sell them cheap to every household in the German Reich to make it possible that Adolf Hitlers voice (or whoever from his high rank NSDAP comrades had something to say) was heard in the living room of every good “Volksgenosse” (Fellow German). The radio still has the Nazi State Eagle on the front. Because of these Third Reich symbols these radios were not tolerated by the Allies who ruled Germany since May of 1945, and these neat little radios were destroyed wherever they showed up. Very few examples in good condition have survived the de-Nazification wave in postwar Germany or simply got destroyed in the war. Here is your chance to add a nice display item to your collection! Nice honest unaltered and all original radio. The front cloth looks as if it had been replaced sometime, which was common even back then. Has 6 eagles that we can spot. No damage or cracks to Bakelite body. These are getting hard to find so don’t miss out. We did not check the function of this radio (we see that one bulb is missing) but assuming all parts are still there and operational, it is fairly easy to convert these radios to 110V. In case you get your Nazi radio to play, you won’t be able to receive any of the old German Reichsrundfunk stations like Leipzig, Deutschlandsender or Radio Königsberg but maybe your local radio station. These radios were made by several companies in Nazi Germany, and they had quite some influence on the success of the Nazi Party by designing a cheap radio for the masses. The housing is in very nice condition, has no cracks or other damage. Sold untested as is. A very nice display piece of historic importance.
