The history of television is often said to begin in the United States in the 1950s. In reality, the race to develop the world’s first television broadcasts began much earlier — and became a fierce technological and ideological battle during the 1930s. Nazi Germany was determined to outpace competitors in Great Britain and the United States, investing heavily in what it called “Greater German Television.”
Launched in March 1935 under Reich Broadcasting Director Eugen Hadamovsky, German television operated until September 1944, when the final broadcast flickered across the screens of specially installed television parlours in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg. For decades, historians believed that only fragments of Nazi television programming had survived. Now, a remarkable collection of rare archival footage reveals how the Third Reich used this emerging mass medium for propaganda, entertainment and political messaging.
The surviving broadcasts include extensive coverage of the 1936 Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg, state visits such as Benito Mussolini’s 1937 trip to Berlin, and interviews with prominent figures including Albert Speer, Robert Ley and actor Heinrich George. Alongside political programming were variety shows, cabaret performances, cultural features, a cooking show and even lottery draws — all framed within the ideological worldview of National Socialism.
This documentary uncovers a largely forgotten chapter of media history: Nazi television. It offers a rare and unsettling glimpse into how the Third Reich sought to shape public opinion through one of the most powerful communication tools of the modern age — years before television became a global household medium.
