In conclusion the idea of the Gleichschaltung and the intention from Goebbels and Hitler to use radio as a tool to spread nationalism in Germany is the first indicator that radio was from the beginning of 1933 seen as an important tool to manipulate the germans. However, many people did not have access to a radio because they were rather expensive, but the Volksempfaenger changed that as soon as Goebbels presented them to the public later in 1933. The success of the radio device was based on the low price and other factors. This development then lead to the increased audience of the radio which was also a goal Goebbels had initially. That changed the idea of manipulation to having many people access to radios and the Volksempfaenger which was especially build for the spread of Goebbels and Hitler’s ideologies.
