I was wondering if durring WW2, did people record audio broadcast on
shortwave and if they, what are these recording called and where could I
hear them at?

The US government was very interested in US citizens, such as Tokyo Rose and
Ezra Pound, broadcasting from enemy countries . They recorded those
broadcasts, and the recordings were used in the trials. The recordings are
probably stored in the National Archives or someplace like that.



There were magnetic tape recordings used during World War 2.


Can you say, "Magnetophon"? There, I knew you could. And it was off an USA
invention, at that.

Practically nobody had recording equipment back then. Consumer wire
recorders weren't available until after the war. EH Scott was recording
broadcasts from Australia onto disks back in the thirties, and he might have
done some of that during the war. I'll bet there weren't any blank disks
available to civilians during the war.
