Georg Dannenberg and the ’Usable Past’
For broadcasters in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the National Socialist period represented two kinds of “usable past.” Firstly, the inherited radio infrastructure - including extensive sound archives - provided them with physical remnants of the past usable for broadcasting.
