I think this video was made for the celebration of the victory of the World War 2, because it was made on 10 May 1945, just the date after unconditional surrender of Germany and the end of War in Europe.
It sounds pretty solid, but I kinda just wonder if something else happened as well. The was ended in Europe, but America was still fighting the Japanese in the Pacific Theater, which didnt end until late August
Michael Benedict Yes, it was true. But I think when Germany was defeated, it was certain that the Japanese will be also defeated, and United States will certainly win the war and became the only superpower in the world, so I think this version of US Anthem was the celebration of the certain victory for the US, and also the celebration that United States became the Only superpower.
The war only truely ended in 1990 when eastern bloc collapsed and ending the ideology hostiles in europe, the war continued beyond the end of WW2 because of ideology rivalry called the cold war
I guess this recording is conducted by Toscanini in 1943. And originally this is recorded just after the Internationale Russian version as anthem of the Soviet Union.

LYRICS:
O' say can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
By the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O' say does that star-spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave
