The series receptors Volksempfänger were developed by Otto Griessing at the request of Joseph Goebbels

The promotional image shows the stereotype of the German family while listening to your Volksempfänger
Traitor: So was considered listening to foreign broadcasts

Results
The owner manual, though small, has enough detail
Controls are for: antenna coupling, tuning and feedback
The operating principle is regenerative
On the dial you can watch German stations of the time
bands tuned of half-wave 540Kc to 1600Kc and long-wave 150Kc to 350Kc
Working
The power up is quite fast due to direct heating tubes
The tuning can be difficult because it requires using all the controls to tune in a station
It has accused these receptors to be insensitive but with the right antenna can hear distant stations
The regenerative circuit, but achieves a low cost of manufacture, at the time had already been surpassed by the superheterodyne
