On the Gramophone to SH3 I listen to period music. (Only exception is a few classical pieces, Wagner, conducted by Wilhelm Fürtwängler after the war, and Liszt, conducted by Kurt Masur.) I have several Gramophone mods which are sorted and rotated by dates of release, so I will not hear a track released in 1940 when the campaign is taking place in 1939. (If you're going to try to be authentic it should be reflected in the music as well!) The music are mainly light German popular schlagers and Tanzmusik of the time. Some German march music too. French music can also be found, but especially after the fall of France in 1940.
Although I have a decent collection, I have so far not included any music or radio from enemy or neutral countries such as Britain, America, or Sweden. It is true the U-Boats had radio and could listen to foreign broadcasts but, for the moment at least, I feel it somehow spoils the atmosphere inside the U-Boat. In time I hope to include music from the Netherlands and other occupied countries...
Besides music I can hear speeches, interviews, PK-reports, fanfares followed by OKW gibt bekannt... with front developments, entertainment. I don't have enough of this kind, so I am always looking for more.
Oh, and no music during battle!
