Xx-xx-xx13D-day The Beginning Of The End

This broadcasting company brings you the sound of war. The actual sound record of World War II. 2,191 days from the time Hitler's concert divisions moved across the Polish borders to the ceremony of the Japanese surrender aboard the United States battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay.

World War II. The most terrible period of death and destruction in the long history of man. World War II, a drama preserve for all time through the medium of radio, and era never to be forgotten.

Tonight, the day, the beginning of the end, June 1944 and the Allies around the march. Most five years since the German Army invaded Poland, and just a few months short of three years since the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

Great Britain, fighting alone after the fall of France, was soon joined by Russia in early 1941, and then by the United States after the Japanese attack. Now the three great powers were systematically chipping away at the Nazi Empire.

From the east it was the massive avalanche of Russian strength. From the south and west it was Great Britain in the United States. Everywhere in the world in June of 1944, the Allies were on the offensive.

Leading up to these moments were two great victories told by the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill. First it was Africa, then Egypt. Now it was June 4th, 1944. It is just six days short of four years since June 10th, 1940, that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt spoke these words.

On this 10th day of June 1940, the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor. Now it is June 4th and Judgment Day for the Italian nation is it has.
