Swedish Rhapsody
Swedish Rhapsody is the nickname of the Polish number transmitter G02, which was operated between the late 1950s and 1998 by the Służba Bezpieczeństwa and its successor organization Agencja Wywiadu and operated AM broadcasting . The station was notorious for the use of a voice that was initially mistaken for a German speaking girl, but later turned out to be a converted "Schnatterinchen", an analogue speech machine of the MfS . At the end of the 1980s, its successor model, the “voice Morse generator” with digital samples from the speaker for the number transmitter, was also used temporarily on a test basis.
The number transmitter is especially known for its signature melody , Swedish Rhapsody No. which is perceived as frightening in large parts of pop culture . 1 by Hugo Alfvén , which was recorded from a music box made by the Swiss manufacturer Reuge , although Agencja Wywiadu stated with the disclosure of older documents that the melody was the "Luxemburg Polka" by Emile Reisdorff (Bunny Lewis). The corresponding music box is actually titled Swedish Rhapsody or Schwedenmädel and was sold in various designs (jewelry boxes, mechanical figure, etc.) from the 1950s. It is not yet known which model was used to record the number transmitter.
Around seven years after the collapse of the Soviet Union , the station ceased operations. It is believed, however, that between 1998 and 2007, English-language programs were re-broadcast on the E23 pay station under Poland , which is now allied to the west . It is now considered certain that Swedish Rhapsody served the Polish foreign intelligence.
