Here's one man that would be proud: Paul Joseph Goebbels (German pronunciation: [ˈɡœbəls], English: /ˈɡɝːbəlz/; 29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German politician and Reichsminister of Propaganda in Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. He was one of German dictator Adolf Hitler's closest associates and most devout followers, eventually succeeding him as Chancellor of Germany, an office he held for only one day, carrying out one official act: sending a delegation to seek a ceasefire with the Russians. Goebbels was known for his zealous oratory and anti-Semitism. He was the chief architect of the Kristallnacht attack on the German Jews, which historians consider to be the commencement of the Nazi violence culminating in the Holocaust.

In Hitler's Germany, it was against the law to listen to a foreign broadcast. In an alliance between government and industry, they sold cheap "people's radios" to the masses which could only receive the local propaganda stations (the Volksempfanger).
