History of this model radio:

The German Volksempfaenger VE 301 radio was introduced in 1933. More properly spelled Volksempfänger, that means People's Radio.

It is a controversial collector's item with considerable historical interest.

The Volksempfänger was sold for propaganda purposes during the Nazi years. Low price made it affordable to the masses. A similar goal fueled development of the inexpensive Volkswagen (people's car)

The Volksempfänger also lacked shortwave reception, making it more difficult for Germans to listen to foreign broadcasts.

Shortwave broadcasts, as you may know, can bounce around the globe, ricocheting between the Earth's ionosphere and its surface. A radio owner with a long antenna and even a modest shortwave receiver can receive stations from thousands of miles away. For obvious reasons, the Volksempfänger was designed without shortwave capabilities.

The meaning of "VE301". The VE stands for Volksempfänger and the 301 represents January 30 (30 1 in German notation) 1933, the day when the Nazi regime took power.
