We can simply provide advice or supply authentic Wehrmacht radio stations and train your actors in the correct communications procedures. We can also provide assistance in ensuring the realism and authenticity of the communication elements in your script. We can provide authrentic radio setups from simple portable radio telephones to Divisional HQ radio setups. We currently have two original fully equipped HQ radio vehicles in the collection and a variety of stationary and portable radiostations, aircraft and tank radios.
