Hitler wanted to be the first to create his own television Hitler-TV, having stolen the idea of ​​the Air Force

Edolf Hitler, even before the start of World War II, planned to be the first to create his own television to influence the population. This is evidenced by the recently declassified documents that fell into the hands of the Russians after the fall of Berlin in 1945, reports inopressa.ru with reference to the Italian La Repubblica . British Daily Telegraph and The Independent are published on Thursday.

The articles noted that in technical terms, the first experiments with television were conducted by the British Air Force, but they were immediately copied by the Nazis, who understood the advantage of audiovisual impact on people over purely audio.

The futuristic Nazi plan was developed by a scientist, a child prodigy, Walter Burch. The plan provided for the creation of viewing and listening points in squares, in public laundry and other public places. "Transmitters and receivers for the people" - this is the name of TVs in the language of the Nazi regime.

The project was crucial for the Minister of Propaganda Goebbels, the media noted. “Audiovisual equipment,” the newspapers of excerpt from the declassified notes of Goebbels, published these days, have a decisive superiority over the radio: the simple news, transmitted on the radio, leaves a place to interpret the listener’s imagination, and we cannot control this process. The image with sound is much better. ”

According to declassified data, everything was already ready to start broadcasting the Hitler-TV cable television programs to maxi-screen, thanks to the broadband cables laid between Berlin and Nuremberg. Hitler-TV television programs were even ready: news releases, sports training programs and even a series from the life of the perfect Aryan family "Evening at Hans and Gelly."

It was possible to make additions and changes to the project: so the head of SS, Heinrich Himmler, suggested entering a report shot by the Gestapo operator about how a relative of Hitler Eva Brown’s mistress was killed on the border, while trying to escape by the secret police. It was planned to include enemies of the regime enemies in the programs and direct reports.

But the war prevented the Nazis to implement this ominous project. As a result, the first programs for an ordinary viewer were broadcast in the USA in the last months of World War II.
