Ww2 Radio German

[Vinnie Frevert]

Educationand (open) Civilian Radios (Ausbildungs- und offener Brgerkanal) are non commercial radios with free access to the medium radio for training media competences (e.g. for students, school classes or individuals (e.g. voluntairs)).

Liberal radio is non commercial and part of private radio for groups, local bands, civilian initiatives and single persons with (free) access to the medium radio. One of the main target of "Liberal radio" is to create a public opposition.

I was browsing through the 2gb of files in Bos's Update folder, and noted with great interest that all the speech samples for the AI are in there. The quality of voice acting of ones virtual-wingmates can make or break a flight sim for me (the main reason why clod has never captured my imagination). With that in mind I was interested to see how these ones sounded.

The Russian voices seem quite good, but I noticed the German voices are a bit similar to the original Il-2 in as much that the voice actors sound unduly alarmed and very harsh, even when changing formation.

This made me wonder, what sort of radio discipline did the Luftwaffe practice in real life. Did they bark at one another as a matter of routine, and were they well known for shouting and becoming highly emotional during combat? I understand the British thought the Polish flyers were unnecessarily emotive. Did German airmen have a similar reputation?

I also listened to the files, and I actually really liked them, I personally found them to be better than old Il-2. The phrases seem to be 'historically correct', they call the boogies 'Indianer' in one of the files IIRC and that's the most important thing I guess and adds a lot to the immersion. The 'actors' seem to have slightly different accents, too, so it's not all just generic German - very nice touch. What I don't like besides the slightly overexcited intonation is the lack of more specific phrases like Marie, Lisa, Rolf, Moebelwagen, Radfahrer etc., They could say 'Solo' instead just 'gestartet', but that's just a small detail.

Also, German as such might sound a bit harsh to someone's ears, some pilots could have been emotional why others were very quiet. This is just a generic voicepack that has to fit all occasions when put together and I am aware of the technical difficulties when making this kind of work. I haven't even heard it in actual game yet so I guess it's too soon to judge anything, but it sounds very interesting and authentic imho. I am not a real German though so what do I know :D

Of course not, and that's not what I was implying. I'm talking of the German military system as a whole, which was built on the basis of the Prussian tradition in the later half of the 19th century, and which survived in the German armed forces right up to the end of WW2.

Just listened to it. It's ok, not excellent, a bit over the top in some cases, in others not immersive enough, you can hear it's just a normal guy speaking, not a pilot and not used to saying such things.

Oh yes, that is very much true and I didn't mean to contradict what you were saying at all. This was definitely the case with organisation and approach to mission planning and such. What I wanted to say was that in the actual units, there were men from all walks of life who didn't necessarily had these 'Prussian' principles in them (as per upbringing and education.) The organisation was very good, but these were still just normal people and not clones of your typical 'ze German pilot' stereotype from the movies - a chap with cold eyes, pale hair and a soul of a T-1000. The discipline in training was there though and so were the emotions in actual combat. The radio communication was just standard and very disciplined actually, as breaking radio silence for no good reason, or talking unnecessarily too much in combat could cost someone's life. I personally wouldn't say that the Prussian tradition did make for less disciplined and more agitated comms.

Coming back to the old Il-2 voicepack - when the game was brand new in early 2000s, a few friends paid a visit to a high scoring 109 pilot from the 13./JG52. They took a complete PC with HOTAS, pedals and everything for him to have a go in 'his' G-2 again. He loved the sim, but he noticed and commented on the comms, that it was a complete nonsense, apparently they were quiet for the most of the time.

Well, about all I can add is from the US perspective. My father who as a AO2 with VBF-16 in the Pacific had plenty of time to listen to radio traffic would always comment to me on war movie pilot radio chatter, "Ah, bull hockey, they didn't talk on the radio like that!" So, eh, for what it's worth. Who knows with the Germans? I think Robo is right, standing orders were to maintain radio discipline at all times. I imagine it was forgotten at times in the midst of a furball, but since the base was listening (and thus your commanders) no one would have thumbed their nose at the regulation as it would have been to the detriment of the others in your squadron.

Deutsche Welle has an extremely broad range of radio programming in their online media libraries, ranging from music-focused podcasts to series geared entirely towards German language learning.

For example, you can check out Deutschlandfunk, the news-focused subsidiary of Deutschlandradio, which also offers programs with more of a cultural or pedagogic focus. Deutschlandfunk features plenty of cutting-edge reporting on events of international significance, including interviews with leading politicians and other figures in public life. The language will challenge you and the content will reward you.

I recommend checking out the online stream of NDR Info, which offers high-quality news production, along with music, weather and more. Never underestimate the value of learning to discuss current and controversial issues like (and with) the pros!

Keep yourself updated on your favorite Fballgtter (football gods), hone your knowledge of sports slang and pick up discussion material for chats with fellow fan colleagues or the guys at the local Eckkneipe (corner pub).

So your first German word was E-Gitarre (electric guitar) and your number-one reason for visiting Deutschland is seeing Die Toten Hosen or Die rzte live in concert? Rock on! But in the meantime, STAR FM has got your musical needs covered.

They specialize in alt-rock and electro-pop, with more English-language artists than German, but the DJ talk segments are in German and feature short bits of current events and the latest from the local music scenes. They have online streams from both the Berlin and Bremen markets.

The Berlin station also organizes regular parties at the Spreeside FluxBau. And who knows, that hipster cutie at the bar could be just the person to lend regular Sprachpartner (language partner) meetings an extra bit of incentive. This is the perfect station to listen to while leafing through a German youth culture magazine.

Above and beyond the music, if you like talk radio and morning show formats, these guys can help keep you idly entertained while improving your German comprehension. This station also has plenty of live studio concerts, interviews with artists and current news bites.

Comedy is probably the least high-brow thing you can think of, but if none of the above tickles your fancy (or you prefer something that tickles your sides instead), hr3 will have you laughing in minutes.

Through Radio.de, you can explore new radio stations by type of music, tags, user favorites or recommendations. If that sounds like too much effort, Radio.de also has a top 10 for you to browse. Streams can be started directly from their site.

TuneIn offers a number of live streams from different German radio stations. The platform not only lets you browse channels by city and shows the programming of every station but also continues to play the last started live stream while you go hunting around for more.

We are in the process of implementing a LoRa-Meshnetwork in several German cities for our growing base of members. The demand is huge and people are very curious, excited and enthusiastic about this new technology and its potential for managing the challenges during prospective crisis blackouts. Now I have some questions for you:

Which hardware do you recommend as the one with the most potential? Currently we choose the TTGO T-Beam v1.1 as our favourite, but maybe you see other modules as more convenient, efficient or promising for the near future?

How could a LoRa-Network be attacked by enemies and how can we best protect us against such attacks and sabotage? Do professional jammers exist, perhaps in police or military, for destroying or intervening with LoRa communication?

Can you point me to some German developers, who might be interested in working for our project and tailoring the software to the specific needs of our community for a) communicating publicly and privately peer to peer within and between small to huge local, regional and national groups of people and b) for finding encoding systems for transmitting as much important information within the limits of this SMS-Chat-Messenger-Communication as possible during the economic crisis, e.g. for organizing a decentralized marketplace (abbreviated encoding of information about demanded and supplied goods and services) between our members in the coming crisis and shortage economy?

We are planning to expand the FDG LoRa-Meshnetwork in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as fast as possible for our members to become autonomous and self reliant during blackouts, for organizing spontaneous meetings in times and situations of emergency, and for the quick organization of a decentralized marketplace for goods and services in the coming crisis shortage economy. We are also interested in implementing and combining this LoRa-Meshnetwork with the self reliant HAMNET (HamnetDB Map), the Highspeed Amateurradio Multimedia NETwork in D-A-CH.
