You Can't Do Business with Hitler

No American Goods Wanted

by

You Can't Do Business with Hitler is a wartime radio program centered on the economic and political consequences of doing business with Nazi Germany. Its title frames a direct appeal to listeners about the relationship between commerce and the conflict in Europe.

The episode title, “No American Goods Wanted,” points to a discussion of American products and their place in that larger issue. The program offers a period perspective on wartime trade and public attitudes, presented as radio commentary rather than as a fictional drama.

Its appeal lies in hearing how the subject was addressed at the time: plainly, urgently, and in the language of contemporary public debate. The broadcast provides a compact historical listening experience focused on the intersection of business, national policy, and the war.
