Well, but they did have the radio though. They could illegally tune into a radio station...

Just think, back in World War II era,  people who weren't friends with "the kind of person" who was going to get killed or put in a camp also didn't have the internet or any of those things to tell them anything, so they couldn't even ignore stuff like that because it wasn't even accessible to them.

Were the Germans in the 1940s any nicer than we are?
