2 WORLD WAR II ON THE RADIO (MP3 CD) 2
Mailbox Library
around the world, Americans gathered around radios to hear the latest news
bulletins regarding the start, duration and ending of World War II. This would
make the situation even more distressing, as you would not be able to see what
was going on.
This MP3 CD brings together some of the most historic radio broadcasts in
history, related to the war. You will hear such historic events as Hitler's
triumphant entry into Austria in 1938; Neville Chamberlain's "Peace in our Time"
speech; Hitler's speech announcing the invasion of Poland; Chamberlain declaring
war on Germany; Churchill's "Never Surrender" and "Finest Hour" speeches; live
broadcasts from the Battle of Britain; the announcement of the sinking of the
Bismarck; and Stalin's call to his people to defend Mother Russia.
The attack on Pearl Harbor brought America into the war, and you will hear the
live broadcasts interrupting the normal programming of the day, to announce the
Japanese attack. At 11:50AM Washington time on December 8, 1941, Roosevelt
stood in a joint session of Congress to declare war on Japan, after the "day of
infamy". Hear the entire broadcast (nearly 1 hour long) including commentary
before and after, as it happened that day!
After that, many other events include: Churchill's address to Congress; an
eyewitness account of the Battle of Midway; the surrender of Germans in North
Africa and Italian armies, as well as Mussolini's resignation speech;
Eisenhower's D-Day address to the troops; the invasion announcements; Tokyo Rose
and Lord Haw Haw propaganda speeches from Japan and Germany, trying to
demoralize American troops; the Liberations of Paris and Rome; the Battle of the
Bulge; Roosevelt's death and live funeral broadcast; liberation of the first
concentration camp; the announcement that Hitler was dead; the fall of Berlin
and surrender of the German army; the great V-E Day celebrations with the Royal
family and Winston Churchill in London; the announcement of the Hiroshima
attack; and the announcement of Japan's surrender - and many more!
