A BITING CARTOON

TRANSLATION:

Grandmother came to tell fairy tales. When German troops occupied Hilversum on Wednesday, May 15, 1940, a German truck pulled up in front of one of the studio buildings. Had the studio been out of order, no worries, everything needed for the broadcasts and even for two weeks of programming was ready in the truck. Not a German program, no, a typical Dutch program, ready-made on records and even featuring Jewish artists. Grandmother had so thoroughly prepared her fairy tale hour for the Netherlands. But how quickly they caught on to that trick! And how eagerly they listened to the free world!
