CBS Coverage of Complete Broadcast Day - June 6, 1944: D-Day Allies Invade Normandy

Utah Beach InvasionAfter years of planning, the U.S. and allied troops invaded the shores of Normandy in a surprise attack on the Nazi occupying forces on June 6 th, 1944. 12,000 British and American airplanes led the attack. Thousands of paratroopers landed in enemy territory and attempted to suppress a German counter attack. Five French beach fronts were invaded by British, Canadian and American troops that arrived via the sea. The successfully pushed back the Nazi Defense known as the "Atlantic Wall and this day marked a turning point in favor of the allies and the liberation of Europe in World War II. D-day began the Battle of Normandy and by the end of July 1944, about 1 million Allied troops, mostly American, British and Canadian, were entrenched in Normandy.

    Absolutely fascinating for anyone who is a student of American History. High quality from beginning to end. Here you will will hear the famous CBS REAL news casters, not fake news: Bob Trout, Edward R. Murrow, Hotellit and more. Far more entertaining and interesting than your car's radio or SiriusXM. I have long been a lover of old radio shows and the imagination they create in one's mind. So relaxing, so captivating, so inexpensive. Les Evjen Black Hills, South Dakota (The heart of everything that is)

    Les Evjen has already expressed (beat me to the punch) my thoughts about this disc. It has great quality and is very interesting to listen to. Great addition to my OTR library. Sal LaManna, Murrieta, CA

    These shows will take you back in time and bring to life the uncertainty and anxiety that prevailed that day. The announcers didn't hesitate to encourage listeners to pray for victory and the safe return of American soldiers. I enjoyed every minute of it. Books are great, and movies like Saving Private Ryan are very powerful. But radio was the real life connection to D Day in 1944.

    I have this, from OTRCAT. Takes this wartime event, from breaking news, right through the Longest Day. Makes history alive.

    Vince Verified Purchase

    I enjoy the downloads regularly. Excellent quality and great price and selection. These take you back in time when the world was a completely different place. Close your eyes and listen to the programs and it feels like you are there.

    Stephen Verified Purchase

    Have it. Most INCREDIBLE narrative of the D-day landings.

    Vince Verified Purchase
