This sentence has been flagged as dubious: 'Allied intelligence experts knew that the Germans had some new form of recording system but they did not know the details'
The BBC were aware of the Magnetophon before the war: Edward Pawley was able to examine one.It was still in its early stages - for one thing the tape frequently broke - but it was considered that it might eventually become useful.
During the war the Germans discovered that high-frequency bias would improve the quality considerably, and the brittle cellulose acetate tape was replaced by PVC (poly vinyl chloride). The use the Germans were making of the Magnetophon was known from an article entitled 'Radio changed over to magnetic steel tape' wqhich appeared in 'Das Reich' at the end of 1944. However it was not until the invasion and the capture of some machines that the reasons for the improvement in recorded quality which had become apparent from Hitler's broadcast speeches was known.
Information from 'BBC Engineering 1922-1972' by Edward Pawley, page 387.
Is it felt we need that much clarification in the article? I've added a brief parenthetical clarification with a reference. RFWilmut ( talk) 16:12, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

The article fails to mention one thing: what tape speed(s) did those early Magnetophons use??? Lee M ( talk) 00:04, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
