List of German colonial radio stations
The German colonial radio stations were supposed to form a communication network for wireless telegraphy in the German “protected areas” . By the beginning of the First World War , however, only part of the planned facilities could be completed. The Telefunken company , which was commissioned by the German Reich , took over the construction and operation in many cases . There were also private or temporary radio stations. In general, a distinction can be made between large transcontinental radio stations for communications with Europe or other colonies and regional small or coastal radio stations . After the outbreak of war were temporarily War stations or -empfangsstellen established that the communications of the security force were used.
