Nazi TV?
Much as we like to compare Fox "news" to Nazi propaganda, Nazi Germany actually had television programming.

I'd like to see this.

2. Nazi German TV is certainly interesting, technically speaking...
... which probably made it easier for us to find them...

Britain may have had the worlds' first high definition TV service but when WWII broke out they shut it down. Why? To stop the nazis from using the TV frequencies as a homing beacon for missiles. However the TV transmitters were put to a different use: jamming nazi navigation aircraft beacons.

When the Nazis occupied France, they broadcast TV from the Eiffel Tower. The British got equipment rigged up to watch their transmissions.

Mark.
