Default German tape recorders

I once heard a fascinating interview on our local ABC radio . A WW2 german veteran was interviwed , he was , towards the wars end , posted to a signals unit . This unit was using , what was then very advanced technology in the form of magnetic tape recording machines. This veteran described how he had secretly recorded many music programes being broadcast from the BBC . He said if he had been found doing this , he would have been shot without question . Amazingly , he had kept the tapes and we heard them , beautiful hi fidelity sounds from WW2 . Swing music etc. I recall he mentioned they were using 1/4" tape , which would be 6mm .
