The preparation of the population before World War II through propaganda radio broadcast with military themes

Summary/Abstract: The radio broadcasts on military topics that were broadcasted in the period immediately before World War II were propagandistic ones, asking for volunteer work presented as a sacred duty. The young people’s deeds were presented so that everyone could feel proud of these accomplishments. Personalities of the Romanian culture were asked to participate in different conferences or radio broadcasts as their word was more likely to make an impact on the young people as all these actions were aimed at the education of the young generation. These broadcasts were addressed not only to the youth but also to the military as they presented news of bravery of civilians and military. If “Ora străjerilor” and “Ora premilitară” were two radio programs aiming at the education of young people, “Ora Ostaşului” mainly addressed the military. The programs consisted in folk and military music, heroic poems and news concerning the brave deeds of both civilians and military that fought against the enemy. In my study I will mention some of these broadcasts’ contents, their aims and their editors.
