A new video about a rather interesting radio.... Text with subtitles in English

This model from the leader of the pre-war radio industry in Germany, Telefunken, was the first attempt to revive its pre-war popularity and power. When the entire country and the company's production facilities were in ruins, and competitors managed to produce only the simplest one- and two-tube radios, the T-6445 GWK model in 1948 became the first post-war creation of the company with claims to regain leadership.
The idea of the concept of this model was very simple - in the body of the "German suitcase" of the Wehrmacht during the war, instead of the battery radio chassis, install a chassis with a universal power supply for direct and alternating current networks with a voltage from 110 to 220 volts.
And it turned out to be a great solution for a compact portable all-wave radio, making this model very popular. And taking into account that here are all radio lamps of the 11th "metal" series of the 38th model (UCH-11, UBF-11, UCL-11, UY-11), it is also extremely reliable.
It is not surprising that due to its portability, availability of the SW range and phenomenal sensitivity, this radio became extremely popular again in the army ... but already with the officers and soldiers of the US military contingent in Germany.
Paradox...
