I've been listening to over 16 hours of these recordings the past two days. I'm so immersed in the time period now that when I stepped out of my house for a bit I was almost surprised to find myself back in 2020, lol.

[@girlyq8025]

I felt exactly the same way

[@richardkirk5098]

Me too. It was a disappointment.

[@stevekutra6365]

My reaction is feeling a little nervous as if I was back in time to WW 2

[@fayertreijd919]

But what do you think about this Hitler fellow? Seems like a bad egg to me

[@conflict7269]

Makes me think of grandpa, maybe grandma used to listen to this when he was on missions

[@alexkeefe2142]

I’m listening all the way through from the beginning. Such an illuminating way to learn this history - better than any history podcast!

[@ArizonaJoeHines]

I'm only 2 hours in, but I found the last broadcast from Corregidor just gripping. Thank you for your excellent post.

[@andeusmc2030]

I am so glad I am in a generation that we are able to listen to these radio broadcasts, and I am glad there were people that figured this stuff would be important one day. Amazing.

[@jamesbedukodjograham5508]

These Radio Broadcasts are very important and useful even in the year 2023. It is really amazing of the sound Quality that emanates from those broadcasts. Wow from 1942 and I am in awe of those broadcasts. The men who spoke are now dead and at peace with their maker,😊

[@owenfreed700]

I have listened to every minute of this series of wonderful recordings

[@markdawson3500]

Fantastic posts.. can't stop listening to all these posts. Thanks!

[@MrDavidfarris]

Really fine work putting these together. A unique way of immersing into the events of the period. Really enjoying these presentations.

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

What a wonderful time capsule. Thank you, but it will take me several days to listen. I'll enjoy every minute.

[@Jeff-dv9jl]

Thank you for your fine work on this project!

[@oldisbest470]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@jandasalovich6469]

What a find! Thank you for this.

[@Droodog127]

My Grandfather was a POW for 11 months on this date Captured 11 February 1941 between Tragino and Naples in Italy after Parachuting in and blowing up the Tragino Aqueduct , housed in Campo Sulmona PG78

[@iammrmat]

Wow! A mention of the tragic Coconut Grove fire during the 11/29/1942 broadcast.

[@CedroneTravels]

My grandmother was in Boston that night and told me she could smell the fire from south Boston

[@mr.deedsgoestotown6155]

This is a fantastic post. Thanks for your great work here.

[@joebollig2689]

I enjoy these recordings very much. Great history. Context to understand today.

[@kdubs9111]

Listening to these with current events is about as surreal as it gets

[@JackF99]

Irving Strobing survived Japanese captivity and died in 1997. On KZbin there is a brief interview with him.

[@submarineinthesky8946]

That last broadcast was chilling.

[@IrishMcScottish]

Earned my sub, gonna dive into these for the next few days

[@ConceptuallyYour]

This vintage music is like a glass of old wine, the more you listen, the more it is filled with emotion and nostalgia. 🍷

[@SG-ug9xj]

1:57:07 - Last Message From Corregidor: Irving Strobing < -- at least part of this when they interview Irvin Strobing was clearly recorded and broadcast later than 1942.

[@darthbigred22]

I had the same reaction. I get why they did that but I had to go look it up because the message seemed exactly why having men as young as possible in the military is a bad idea. I did stumble upon the propaganda for the time was the "give'em hell" part not the whining about chocolate soda or eating canned pineapples with a knife which seemed far less inspiring.

[@georgefeser6483]

Thanks, mate. I'm going to fall asleep to this, now

[@fredwoodson6405]

Coincidence! I used it for listening in bed last night. I was compelling to listen to and also good falling asleep audio. Have a nice day.

[@davidcouch6514]

About the discussion around 7:00; Prescient General Pershing was opposed to the Armistice and pressed for the American Army marching into Berlin fighting or not. And immediately after the 1945 Surrender the Western Allies required all Germans to be educated on “how to think for yourself”.

[@jsweezy123456]

I fall asleep to this …it’s so peaceful

[@dinc4973]

5:47:14 Turning Point!

[@Schneids1216]

News was more exciting back then. But it’s interesting to see developments that happen day to day during the war. Some things that give depth to things that can be read in history books

[@ericericson9282]

I just knew from his voice that it was Nigel Bruce!

[@maualkla]

Amazing

[@ron1613]

thank you

[@Mikhayl_S_V]

WTF Where is subtitles?

[@robertmatch6550]

The lesson I'm taking from this is that you have to listen and assimilate the bad news before you can begin generating the good news.

I was Born when this was announced 😮

[@vacantcontentment8863]

I can't wait to see who wins this war

[@tomneilson8514]

We won the Pacific war but lost in Europe allowing communism to kill millions more

[@TowGunner]

The final round table clip was very entertaining. Charlie Chaplin’s communist sympathies was quite evident.

[@tyqwdybijo]

The communist sympathies at the Round table were thoroughly disgusting. I wonder howmany of the people on there if alive today would be cheering on the lockdowns and the green new deal and sustainable development which are guaranteed to create widespread poverty and austerity while still claiming to be communists because they are supposedly champions of the down trodden. WW2 was a huge scam. The wealth and resources of a great capitalist nation (USA) was used to rightly free the world of fascist aggression but then all the spoils of war were given to communists. Countries like Poland whose loss of sovereignty to Germany sparked off the war in Europe had their sovereignty usurped by communists. The fascist imperialism of Japan and Germany was replaced by communist imperialism (taking over Eastern Europe and China and taking over practically every African colony as they gained independence from Britain and France ) and somehow that was supposed to be ok as if communists were not as genocidal and authoritarian as fascists.

@@tyqwdybijo Well said. It's pathetic how most Americans just wear their useless masks and pretend that everything is just wonderful in our formerly free country. Unless there is a miracle America, and the world are both lost to these demonic bastards!

[@mrbonifant4935]

You all are ignorant of the times....America was OFFICIALLY backing a 2nd Front program with Stalin. Who did we meet with in Malta again? Get your History up to speed, instead of spreading false information.

[@Mister_Prada]

Are you the same person that had a channel similar to this with the channel named “The Fonz”? Thank you for your work.

[@espada9]

Oy vey Bolshevik propaganda at 6:39:31

[@the_lost_navigator]

You know, just by the tone and articulation, I don't think that is Martin Abronsky sometime after 1:14:00 - it sounds a hell of a lot more like John Wayne reading a Propaganda piece... just my ears

[@davidgladstone5261]

Agronsky. He was a liberal.

[@peterchaloner2877]

The deterioration of American spoken English, 1942-2022 is striking. Sounds like everybody was a genius back then, nome sayin'? Feel me? Church!

[@nukclear2741]

I assure you that if you went back in time, most Americans spoke like they do today. There's plenty of alternative reasons, such as the radio personalities having spent years or even decades doing what they do, microphone quality of the day, down to even using a specific broadcast voice.

[@ItzBIULD]

Trust me, it hasn't changed much. Slang terms have gotten a bit worse, but that's about it.

How odd to see Britain defined as England on the map?! Scotland and Wales have been simply wiped of the map as the people of these countries fought and died to save the countries of Europe from being wiped of the map...

[@davidcouch6514]

I’m 69 and it was only recently I comprehended there was no “Queen (now King) of England”

[@jeffmcdonald4225]

People who are true patriots, who love their country, still contend he is only the king of England.

[@davidgladstone5261]

On December 8 1941, a day after Pearl Harbor, the US Air Force was wiped out on the ground at Clark Field, thanks to MacArthur. This disaster was never investigated nor was MacArthur ever held responsible. This is why we lost the Philipines, and the British lost Singapore.

[@ericney6888]

This shit is cool

[@bcvanrijswijk]

Unbelievable, but also interesting how much nonsense they poured over the heads of the audience. It should be a lesson when it comes to today's news. I take everything the MSM tries to tell us with a large grain of salt; in other words: I don't believe a word of it.
