The chapter opens with an account of the military background with the enemy having reached German frontiers, resulting in a new low in morale. With news of atrocities in East Prussia in October, there was a temporary surge in anti-Soviet atrocity propaganda. Customary programming soon returned, including variety and a resumption of drama (“Radio Stage”). There was also an increase in serious features designed to exude pride in German cultural superiority. An increased interaction between broadcasters and the radio audience was echoed in Fritzsche’s replies to listeners’ letters. The growing dilemma of broadcasters in autumn 1944 is illustrated, as well as the unpopularity of Fritzsche’s weekly radio talks. The brochure, “Mirror of the World”, aimed at neutral states and providing an example of “normality”, as well as Goebbels’ idea of “poetic truth”, are examined. Nazi television was wound up. The broadcasting role of Wilhelm Furtwängler is examined.
