Immediately after the Second World War, the radio was the best-preserved medium of mass communication in Germany. This book explores the implications of this dominance by asking how everyday broadcasting constructed ideas of 'normal' times, people and places in the destroyed, divided and occupied zones of what would become the Federal Republic.
In the defeat and occupation of Germany that followed the Second World War, the radio remained a vital part of everyday life for most Germans. "Voices in Ruins" explores in detail the continuities and discontinuities of everyday broadcasting practice at the occupied radio stations. It shows the multiple ways in which the radio stations, in interaction with their listeners, helped to fundamentally shape visions of what would become the Federal Republic, as well as memories of a German past.
