:
: During World War II radiolistening was restricted in Holland. In 1940 the
: Dutch were forbidden to listen to foreign broadcasting and Dutch
: broadcasting- organisations were censored by the Germans. The VARA was the
: first organisation to openly protest against the German when they had to
: report about a march of the Dutch Nazi-organisation NSB.
:
: Broadcasting of English and American songs was forbidden in January 1941.
: The grip of the nazis on the programming was increasing, they ordered to
: broadcast Arien "Auflagesendungen" (mass-produced programs) like the
: musicprogrammes with German titles: "Gruss aus der Heimat" (greetings from
: the fatherland) and "Wunschconcerte" (request concert).
:
: The Dutch society protested against the German rule and persecution of the
: Jews with the "February-strike" of 1941. After this the Germans let no

: room for talking. On 9 March 1941 the broadcastingorganisations were
: dismantled, and a German propaganda-station "De Nederlandse Omroep" (Dutch
: for :Dutch Broadcasting Organisation) was founded. The personal and

: of were taken over by "De Nederlandse Omroep".
: The German engineer Herwijer was in charge, he nazified the organisation

: appointing Dutch national socialists (members of the NSB) on executive

: In the spring of 1941 a obliged registration and a listening-fee was
: introduced to finance broadcasting. This fee replaced the membership-fee

: the dismantled broadcasting organisations. About 1.300.000 were

: Foreign broadcasts like the BBC and Radio Oranje from the Dutch Government
: (in exile in London) were very popular with the Dutch people. The Germans
: were trying to stop the broadcasts any way they could, by forbidding to
: listen or by trying to jam. These measures were not effective enough, the
: final measure was the confiscation of all radios on 13 May 1943.
: Because the registration this measure was very effective. Of course many
: tried to find ways to keep listening to Radio Oranje.
