To anyone with even the vaguest interest in 20th-Century history these recordings are an amazing archive. One hears in real time, moment by moment, the actual breaking news of the June 6 1944 D-Day landings--the beginning of the invasion of Europe by Allied Forces--just as Columbia Broadcasting System studios on the other side of the Atlantic received it.
From rumor to the first and accurate reports by Naz* wireless broadcasts, to shortwave radio news crossing the Atlantic, to the official Allied announcement of invasion, this cataclysmic and momentous WWII event unfolds to us hour by hour with a frisson and thrill. Even from hindsight, we experience those extraordinary events with surprise and excitement, as did those Columbia Broadcasting System reporters who experienced them firsthand over sixty-five years ago.
