Wehrmachtberichte?

#1

Post by Hessler86 » 31 May 2015, 20:55

Hi all,

There are a few MP3 files of the daily Wehrmachtbericht on the Großdeutscher Rundfunk (from the 1st of September 1939 up to the 9th of May 1945) available on the web. I know that the original stems are located at the Deutsches Rundfunkarchiv (DRA), however they have not been forthcoming (as it is propaganda material, as they say). I was wondering if there is someone among you who has all the original recordings, or how I could be able to obtain them?

Thanks in advance!

Regards from Holland

:welcome:

Unfortunately the lack of response may indicate that the recordings are simply not available.

There was a huge web site with an incredible amount of sound files (and other content) from the Third Reich period called the Neuschwabenland Archiv (http://nsl-archiv.com/) but for reasons unknown it went down some time ago and is still inaccessible (at least on my end here in the US, I wonder if it would work for you in Europe?) The domain is still active so who knows... NSL was probably the best place on line to find this sort of thing.

Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Thanks a lot Patches. Yes, I unfortunately was too late to stumble upon the website of Neuschwabenland Archiv.
It was taken down before I could download all Wochenschaue, bummer. Well, I'll find those again someday.
I have all the other files (including the Wehrmachtberichte aforementioned) there, just not all the others.
Thanks anyway! :)

Hallo Hessler,

I happened to get lucky and found Wehrmachtbericht mentioned (among many others) mixed into a single recording titled Aus dem Führerhauptquartier, located here:

https://archive.org/details/Aus-dem-Fue ... ptquartier

A staggering amount of original NSDAP & WWII German information can be found via this search function:

Perhaps not as extensive as the Neuschwabenland Archiv but the next best thing so far, perhaps? There are 530 entries for Die Deutsche Wochenschau there, maybe some you don't have yet?

Cheers!
