Does anyone have information about radio stations that served German soldiers during the war? The only one I could find info for was the Lapplandsender, which served northern Finland and Norway.
Were they essentially propaganda broadcast stations?
Did every region of German occupied, or German aligned Europe have a station?
Radio stations for soldiers

Re: Radio stations for soldiers
All Reichssender and "angeschlossenen Sender" (connected stations in occupied territories) played music for its audience, so also for soldiers. Soldier-specific were Soldatensender Belgrad and Soldatensender Annemarie.
And yes, every country had a radio station that was put into service by the Reichsrundfunkgesellschaft. On top of my head you had Böhmen und Mähren (Czech lands), Generalgouvernement (Poland), Kootwijk (Holland), Brüssel Zwei (Belgium), Luxembourg, Calais, Alpen, Donau, Weichsel, Athen, Salonnikki, Sendergruppr Ostland, Riga, Modohn, Goldingen, Libau, Kauen, Wilna, Minsk, Baranowitschi, Smolensk, Reval, Dorpat, Wehrmachtssendergruppe Ukraine, etc.
For a list of Reichssender, see here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9F ... _Rundfunks and here: http://www.radioheritage.net/europe/fre ... ermany.htm
