The original Volksempfänger VE301 model was presented on August 18, 1933 at the 10. Große Deutsche Funkausstellung in Berlin. The VE301 was available at a readily affordable price of 76 German Reichsmark (equivalent to two weeks’ average salary), and a cheaper 35 Reichsmark model, the DKE38 (sometimes called Goebbels-Schnauze – “Goebbels’ snout” – by the general public) fitted with a multisection tube, was also later produced, along with a series of other models under the Volksempfänger, Gemeinschaftsempfänger, KdF (Kraft durch Freude), DKE (Deutscher Kleinempfänger) and other brands.

This is the DKE38 Model.

Distribution of Volksempfangers: Birthday of the Reich Minister Goebbels was held on 29 October, the distribution of 500 new small receivers to needy fellow of the Berlin Gau in Broadcasting House in 1938. Gaupropagandaleiter Werner Wächter distributes the receiver.
