hey,

I'm a totally blind Australian who loves military history and in particular historical Audio from the Second World War.

I have a pretty sizable collection of Audio from the period that I found over the years online.

Particularly America, Germany, a few bits of Audio from Japan and even Australia.

What I'm on the lookout for now is really rare and hard to find stuff.

The fantastic ear witness to history series recorded by the United States Marines sounds absolutely brilliant but like a lot of of these things, it seems to be at the library of Congress and you can't really listen to a lot of it or download it online.

I'm always looking for complete broadcasts if possible but I'm wondering if there's any Audio from the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, sweden, Norway, Denmark and in particular with the last two, any Audio from the occupation.

I do have quite a bit from radio orange which was for the Dutch exiles but not much from France.

I know it's going to be very hard to find much but I just thought I would put it out there.

Hello,

I've just discovered this wonderful looking group.

I have what is probably going to be a very difficult and challenging question.

I am a totally blind person who has been playing the autoharp for about a year now.

I'm very very basic to be sure but I am loving the instrument immensely.

i have a Oscar Schmidt OS73C 21-chord and the biggest challenge I'm having as someone who cannot see is tuning.

Because of the structure of the pegs, it's really hard for me to try and figure out some kind of system in which I can follow the correct course with my fingers and tune each string.

I tried tuning last year but just following the pegs in what I thought was the logical course but ended up breaking a string and thankfully I managed to get it replaced fairly cheaply.

I'm in Australia so the autoharp stores here are quite small indeed.

I'm basically trying to figure out some kind of map that I can read that says, go to peg one for the first F string and then move to pegs to the right for the G string and so forth.

Any advice anyone has I would be very grateful for and I know it's a bit of a challenge.

I even tried taking a series of photos and attempting to get ChatGPT to try and help me build something but it's proving to be quite a difficult endeavour.
