What was the most popular radio station in germany during World War II?–> (best legit answer gets points)?

0

During World War II Switzerland’s national public radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation built up a reputation for independent information. Many people in Germany, Austria and other countries in northern and eastern Europe regularly tuned in to Beromünster (then 556 kc) to get independent information, although this was forbidden in Nazi Germany/Austria, under threat of severe punishment. From 1940 to 1945 Prof. Jean-Rodolphe von Salis reported and commented the events on the battlefields of World War II every friday evening. Although not completely free due to censorship measures by the Swiss Government, his reports were highly esteemed by people suffering from Hitler’s rule. Hitler himself, however, demanded at least three times officially, that the Swiss Government would remove Prof. von Salis’ Weltchronik [World Chronicle] from Radio Beromünster’s schedule.
