We've entered the last year of the war, and it's a bloody one. The Allies are closing in on Berlin, and the war in the Pacific sees one of its deadliest battles on Iwo Jima.

Listening to the voices and resolve, the professionalism, the good reporting.. one wonders how in 1 lifetime we've managed to screw it up so badly and lose this greatness. How depressingly sad and embarrassing. We dishonor those who served and died.
I'm one who has served in the army 84-91 Desert storm. make a stand as a patiot against the unamerican things that some are doing in our country, theres more of us than them. We will prevail over the left or anyone else who is trying to distroy America as we know it. I do not desrespect anyone of our heros in anyone of our wars
This is one of the most important and finest collections of WWII radio broadcasts I've ever heard! It's almost like living the experience firsthand. To think, my father, his brothers, my grandmothers, etc., all listened to these broadcasts way back when!
I listened to my first last night. I'm a history lover and have read for decades on WW2. it's such a treasure that these broadcasts are preserved for history.
Having been born during the war in 1943, I missed being a part of defeating Nazi Germany and Japan. Listening to these wonderful broadcasts has brought me closer to experiencing the war effort and eased my nostalgia for those incredible war years when the hearts and wills of the american people were united in the hope and purpose of destroying Hitler and Hirohito.
@@IchMagEssen13 Well he didn't fuck the economy in ways the Carolina Panthers can only dream of, which matters infinitely more in the grand scheme of things.
@@anusmcgee4150 Nobody is interested in your ill- conceived comments here. People came here to understand history and FDR. You are amazingly presumptuous to think anyone here cares one tiny bit about your mental gymnastics.
I grew up in Hyde Park, NY and worked as a Park Ranger at FDR National Historic Site during college in the 80’s. I’d pass by FDRs grave every day. Was always something to see WW2 vets in their old ages come visit his home and stand there saluting their President at his grave. Such a different generation.
It is a sad disappointment that the highest leadership of this country is not filled with integrity, principles, or decency, but rather shortsightedness, criminality, and disregard. That is not to say the highest posts in the nation were always occupied by individuals who held those values, but rather that it has been a very long since we have last seen even one of them.
"This is undoubtedly the greatest American battle of the war and will, I believe, be regarded as an ever-famous American victory." - British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill
Gotta request ... It would be great to hear news broadcasts from September 1945 to the end of the year. The transition back to peace time and the world wide developments as countries jockey for position would be fascinating. CBS World news today was a first class program. Hopefully someone kept recording them after the war.
If only I had a time machine. I wish I could have met FDR. Any time you feel you have problems and no matter how bad you think your life sucks. You can still get up and walk.
You can hear the age and the infirmity in FDR's voice (Compare this with any of the other "Fireside Chats.") FDR had just over 13 weeks to live as he spoke to the Nation in the First week of January. Germany would surrender 8 May 1945, But FDR would die on 12 April 1945 from a massive stroke.
What a great Pesident and humanitarian, it was a shame he didn't live to see the surrender! You have to search far & wide to f>and another President like FDR. I was born on the 14th of May & could only hear these accolades from my father Mother & all my uncles that were there. We were caught by surprise & our military was a rag tag military at best but the world's greatest generation, rallied this magnificent country to beat our enemy & win the war. We were able to win because the country was United & we could out produce our enemies, because we manufactured everything. Today the country doesn't produce anything & we are not a country that is United like we once were. Again it was because of the world's greatest generation!
It’s crazy that these broadcasts were recorded and still exist today… And they’re still preserved and playable. It’s crazy, the things that are on record. Things that are on record from before modern video tape. Think of all the storage space that’s needed to keep all of the stuff filed away for later access.
They used transcription discs in the early 40’s and by 1945, magnetic tape was being used by all the major broadcasters. Developed with stolen German technology. Lol.
Wow! I too grew up in Minnesota! Born in Minneapolis in 1939. I remember listening to Cedric Adams on radio station WCCO. Everybody loved and trusted him. He was just a down home kind of guy.
My friends in my middle school I currently go to in Baytown beat me up for liking this. I don't care though I will always love this stuff and showtunes and music from the 1920s.
That's absolutely awful. The time will come that an interest in history will be seen as a positive (ever looked at the number of views these WW II videos get?) And anyone that beats you up is not a friend.
When I was a kid I had to deal with bullys.be true to yourself and expand your horizons.learning history is important and interesting.im a old guy and outlived my bullies
That's a shame considering my family is from Baytown where my Grandfather and all of his brothers volunteered for WW2. They all came home and most lived there until they died. Your friends are ignorant of the sacrifices made by people of the very town in which they live and the things the men of WW2 did to make Baytown a better place for these kids to live.
Does anybody know more about Lt. Robert Boone and his heroism? He should have been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross at least, but I can't find him listed anywhere.
From (7:00), FDR spoke of "those" who leave "their essential posts", and the pure arithmetical necessity that somehow their burdens must yet be carried. None could have known that less than a hundred days hence, FDR himself would be gone. I am one of many perfectly split on FDR: he was universally viewed as heroic in my own youth, came to be vilified in later years, the vilification often not particularly regarding the man, his works, his times, but derivative: from new struggles of later days, partisans tracking back to FDR. His own acts have, also, come to criticism that has great, great weight in later years, as this man did indeed shape the world we still live in. For much of his commissions and also his omissions, he is held liable. As a historian, i take it all in. I try to have some optimism when i arrive at conclusions, and so i approach and leave Franklin D. Roosevelt when to him i often come and go, 140 years after his birth and 90 years since his initial election as President: Many before me have said and underscored that, psychologically, FDR thought he'd live forever, and that politically, he planned* to serve until 1949, end of his fourth term. Many historians have written and provided references suggesting the President had meditated, maybe confided with others, on resigning after complete victory, maybe to "retire" to Hyde Park, maybe to serve (or lead) his pet the United Nations. Implicit in all that all these scholars have told, is the grief that reverberates still from ambiguous borders, unsettled "points", and totalitarianism unchecked. We can never know what FDR hoped or intended to come of the four years ahead of him as he spoke this night. Thus i regard him, half in light and half shadow, but i do honor him, * At leisure, see verses in the Holy Bible about man's plans. On the specific point here, see James 4:13: "Look here, you who say we will go to a certain town . . ."
I listended to a few of these and it's cool how some of the words people say are different then today. For ex more of an Al-EYES then allies, or it could jsut be the place im from
Now I heard the wags recruited old maids for the war , but mommy isn't one of those I've known her all these years . Mama's all right, Daddy's all right , they just seem a little weird- surrender, surrender ; but don't give yourself away aaasayyyayh
The first rule we learned in boot camp or basic training as it’s called was not to listen to rumors and propaganda and don’t be superstitious, and in fact they gave us tests to see how superstitious we were. lol like black cats going across the road and breaking mirrors. I knew the answers they wanted lol they got that. My aunt was a Rosie the riveter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of concentration camp liberators suffered from PTSD after the war, it must’ve been awful seeing all of that first hand.
I wonder what President Roosevelt would have had to say about how things have been in America over the past two years... I'm quite sure of his response. Just wish I could hear it...
I wonder what he would have thought about a president who made fun and ridiculed a handicapped news reporter by impersonating his handicap at a news conference ?
Always remember that Ford and GM provided engines so the enemy could be deployed to the front lines and it was Standard Oil who kept the Luftwaffe in the sky. Never forget.
disinformation aka rumor, was alive even back then 2:30, and likely even farther back. Although we can move and make info faster today, we should also speed up the way to check its accuracy.
I’m going to guess that you’re a white, Christian male. There’s nothing wrong with the fact that the world was (maybe) better for you back then, but it was a whopping great deal worse for a lot of other people.
Idk about that one chief. Far less technology, far worse medical science, segregation was alive and well in the US and lynchings were still common, less social mobility, and let's not forget 8 years of the most destructive conflict in history. If you were a Russian man born in 1923 you had a 68% chance to die during the war.
2:54 The description of the dead Marines and the ground made muddy with blood - that's why it was a painful necessity to drop the A-bombs. Unfortunately, the Japanese High Command would not surrender after the first atomic bomb was dropped; it took two. Don't let the woke foolishness of the recent Oppenheimer movie delude you into thinking otherwise.
americas people were helping servise men and wemen to win over dicktaters! Myself was borm in 3 25 45 wu9le my dad was building B-36 in Fy.Worth dad and his three older brothers work on plains and one was on the rador bombing top secert stuff> as a kid i never remmber any one ever talking about what they did in 40s?

5:14:40 FDR died the 12th. How would they be mourning him on the 5th ?
Best president EVER!!!

Some of these commentators were still working and covered the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 70s.
When we had true "honest' reporters.
Fascinating!
Erratum: The World News Today for 4/5/1945 should be listed as April 15, 1945 the date of President Roosevelt's burial
Ah, I must've accidentally left out the 1. My apologies.
Yes, and the April 5 commentary on his death by Tris Coffin is a week ahead. A minor quibble about a treasure trove of history. Well Done!
Bill Guarnere and Joe Toye lost their legs 3 days before this.
Listening to this, I am worried, how will it end? FDR gives a fireside chat, then was dead barely 3 months later.
I'm seriously at a loss for words
Sounds great for how sick he was!
37:00 OMG Recognizing the Coast Guard... Beach Party - predecessor to CG Port Security - goes in / goes ashore ahead of everyone / everything else !
Great
A huge portion of that gold bullion ended up in the backpacks of GI`s. Nice deposit on a home in Ohio in 1946
From (7:00), FDR spoke of "those" who leave "their essential posts", and the pure arithmetical necessity that somehow their burdens must yet be carried. None could have known that less than a hundred days hence, FDR himself would be gone.
I am one of many perfectly split on FDR: he was universally viewed as heroic in my own youth, came to be vilified in later years, the vilification often not particularly regarding the man, his works, his times, but derivative: from new struggles of later days, partisans tracking back to FDR. His own acts have, also, come to criticism that has great, great weight in later years, as this man did indeed shape the world we still live in. For much of his commissions and also his omissions, he is held liable.
As a historian, i take it all in. I try to have some optimism when i arrive at conclusions, and so i approach and leave Franklin D. Roosevelt when to him i often come and go, 140 years after his birth and 90 years since his initial election as President: Many before me have said and underscored that, psychologically, FDR thought he'd live forever, and that politically, he planned* to serve until 1949, end of his fourth term. Many historians have written and provided references suggesting the President had meditated, maybe confided with others, on resigning after complete victory, maybe to "retire" to Hyde Park, maybe to serve (or lead) his pet the United Nations. Implicit in all that all these scholars have told, is the grief that reverberates still from ambiguous borders, unsettled "points", and totalitarianism unchecked. We can never know what FDR hoped or intended to come of the four years ahead of him as he spoke this night.
Thus i regard him, half in light and half shadow, but i do honor him,
* At leisure, see verses in the Holy Bible about man's plans. On the specific point here, see James 4:13: "Look here, you who say we will go to a certain town . . ."
I listended to a few of these and it's cool how some of the words people say are different then today. For ex more of an Al-EYES then allies, or it could jsut be the place im from
Field Marshal of WWI August von Mackensen surrenders to Allied forces at 7:05:45.
Was the president literally by a fire place while he did this??It sounds soo nice
recorded onto acetate (a record). Now, skipping with age and inferior equipment / needle.
Warning, Some of these newscasts are graphic in detail especially the ones about Buchenwald and Belsen concentration camps so please be advised.
And be sure to listen to them anyway.
THAT'S a president--not perfect (only our Christ was perfect) but a master politician using his powers for all our benefit.
Now I heard the wags recruited old maids for the war , but mommy isn't one of those I've known her all these years . Mama's all right, Daddy's all right , they just seem a little weird- surrender, surrender ; but don't give yourself away aaasayyyayh
We’re listening to history.
The first rule we learned in boot camp or basic training as it’s called was not to listen to rumors and propaganda and don’t be superstitious, and in fact they gave us tests to see how superstitious we were. lol like black cats going across the road and breaking mirrors. I knew the answers they wanted lol they got that. My aunt was a Rosie the riveter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of concentration camp liberators suffered from PTSD after the war, it must’ve been awful seeing all of that first hand.
I wonder what President Roosevelt would have had to say about how things have been in America over the past two years... I'm quite sure of his response. Just wish I could hear it...
I wonder what he would have thought about a president who made fun and ridiculed a handicapped news reporter by impersonating his handicap at a news conference ?

This must be heard by schoolchildren worldwide
Always remember that Ford and GM
provided engines so the enemy could
be deployed to the front lines and
it was Standard Oil who kept the
Luftwaffe in the sky. Never forget.
disinformation aka rumor, was alive even back then 2:30, and likely even farther back. Although we can move and make info faster today, we should also speed up the way to check its accuracy.
It’s surprising that so many of the interviews are scripted. You can hear the hesitation in the voices as they give their first-hand accounts.
My dad was in the 99th infinity hes birthday was December 17th he thought it was his last I am glad he was wrong or I would not be here Sgt G D Hall
I think i missed my generation. What i mean is i wish i could have grown up through the 40s 50s.. i just think it was a better time.
I’m going to guess that you’re a white, Christian male. There’s nothing wrong with the fact that the world was (maybe) better for you back then, but it was a whopping great deal worse for a lot of other people.
Depression followed by ww2
Idk about that one chief. Far less technology, far worse medical science, segregation was alive and well in the US and lynchings were still common, less social mobility, and let's not forget 8 years of the most destructive conflict in history. If you were a Russian man born in 1923 you had a 68% chance to die during the war.

This dude could give JFK a run.
He was JFK's political Father.
2:54 The description of the dead Marines and the ground made muddy with blood - that's why it was a painful necessity to drop the A-bombs. Unfortunately, the Japanese High Command would not surrender after the first atomic bomb was dropped; it took two. Don't let the woke foolishness of the recent Oppenheimer movie delude you into thinking otherwise.

Note the error in the map calling all of the United Kingdom as “England,” ignoring Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
AMONG US!
Scotland is a wee bit bigger maybe down to the N. 😆
