AFN Berlin

The TV studio was located on Saargemünder Strasse, across from the Berlin Brigade Headquarters compound.

Afterwards, seconds before 14:00, AFN Berlin ceased transmitting after playing a rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" performed by William Rivelli.

On July 17, 1945, several GIs reached Berlin with their jeep and the order to set up a radio station within 17 days.
