Remember, this was before the Internet. So Hitler's power grab and ensuing reign of terror was not documented on Free Republic and other patriot websites. Instead, we were spoon-fed the news through newsreels and newspapers. Heck, there wasn't even FoxNews or talk radio back then. We were truly at a disadvantage when it came to taking pre-emptive action against a ruthless, vegetarian, far-Left dictator.

And the folks in London weren't helping us at all. Instead, they were busy appeasing Hitler and declaring "peace for our time" while throwing the people of Austria and Czechoslovakia to the wolves.

Winston Churchill might just have saved the entire civilized world. Singlehandedly.

There was one guy on MBS Radio (abd briefly TV) who would tell it like it was, or as he saw it anyways.

I think it was Mutual Broadcasting...argh... I am probably wrong though... I’ll have to use Google.

I was thinking of DuMont TV

I read somewhere they had actually had a talk show that was like conservative talk radio is now.

I forget now what year it was that my dad was in Germany before the war. Probably around 1935? He was in a youth hostel and met up with a German kid. He asked him about this “Hitler guy” and the German held up his finger to his lips and said “not here”. So there must have been dribs and drabs of information getting out.

I give up, but I did find a treasure trove of really old TV shows
