WW2 Radio Broadcasts (Part 1 - Europe)

[@Tsunderrain]

I love the Polish and greek last message, the greeks saying do not listen to the lies, and Polish saying our country is not lost, is a amazing thing beside what was happening.

[@dennischong764]

The Polish statement "Poland is not yet lost" also happened to be the title (and first line) of their national anthem!

[@Tsunderrain]

@@dennischong764 that's really interesting thxs for saying that!

In September 1939 the in the Polish Radio there was also a message about fake German broadcast pretending the Polish Radio. It happened when the radio tower in Raszyn(secondary station) has been destroyed and Germans seized their frequency broadcasting fake Polish Radio....

[@idontknowahandlengl]

the fact germany tried to hijack france's last anthem before getting annexed, so they sang louder and louder

[@smilemations]

the most haunting part is that in france's last message you can hear Germans trying to hijack the radio probably saying things like "how do you work this?"

[@TheVeryFirstUserEver]

Do you know if they actually said that? The language sounds like French to me. By the way why is the US army song playing in the background? I think this recording was most likely from 1944 or 1945. And there is no evidence that supports the claim that was the “final broadcast in 1940”. I can’t find any information on it.

[@smilemations]

@@TheVeryFirstUserEver i said “probably” i might research this more, and ill inform you

[@Swiss-mapperreal]

Also in the start of the anthem you can hear the germans talking

You can also hear the American song “the caissons go rolling along” so it’s probably actually from the French liberation.

[@kashimogodoflightning]

The last French broadcast feels haunting, it sounds like you can hear gunshots in the background while the song is playing, it gives off “we are all dead” vibes.

@tim.m2Yes, and you can hear talking too, those were the Germans trying to hijack the radio station. They were playing when the Germans just entered the city.

[@TheVeryFirstUserEver]

@@Dani-ck5zwI doubt that’s the final broadcast in 1940 actually. You can hear the US army song in the background if you listen carefully. Why would that be playing in Paris in 1940? I think the recording most likely came from 1944 or 1945.

0:40 Good recording of the Greenwich Time Signal. They had two contacts attached to a pendulum in Greenwich which sent a signal to the BBC every second. At the top of the hour they'd start to generate six "pips". The sixth is exactly on the hour. The BBC still have these pips on Radio 4 (formerly the Home Service which was the name of the station during WWII), the only real difference being that the last pip is a bit longer in length and they are now computer generated

[@YOP17T]

Its straight from the BBC radio archive that's why it's clean

[@cleidsonaraujopeixoto163]

The pips (five short, last one longer) are still top of the hour at the World Service.

After the War Truman allowed Russia to occupy Eastern Europe and Eastern Germany. This lasted until about 1990. Truman should have threatened war with Russia if they did occupy. We would have had no problem winning if war was necessary.

[@pig6293]

Europe had just lost over 70 million men, no one was ready to lose 30 more.

[@ЧукчаСКамчатки]

I like the "allowed" part as if Stalin needed Truman's permission to "invade" Eastern Europe. Soviet Union suffered greatly, more than any other country, from German invasion and if you think that the soviets would've just said "Alright, I guess we'll just screw ourselves", you are wrong. Soviet troops in Europe outnumbered allied ones at least two to one. Indeed, Allies (read that as USA) had higher industrial capabilities and we're able to produce more equipment. They also had higher population numbers, but most of them, once again, were in US. If the conflict started in 1945-1946, the soviets would've simply steamrolled through the entirety of Europe with only Britain staying unoccupied again. After that, the Soviets would've most likely started the invasion of North Africa and got directly involved in the Chinese Civil War, supporting communist forces there. Sooner or later (as it happened IRL), the communist would've won (oh, and the US kinda hated Nationalist China at that point so there would've been little to none support as it was IRL) and China would've been used to attack India and Indochina. The soviets would most likely establish complete dominance over mainland Europe, Asia and maybe Africa, securing natural resources and industrial capacity to match the allies industrial power and, with the manpower from Mao's China, I find it hardly possible for the Allies to get back to the mainland Europe. And please, forget about the nuke. You need to send bombers to drop it, soviets SPECIFICALLY requested Aerocobras and Kingcobras to shoot down strategic bombers flying to USSR. You should also remember that it was Roosevelt who decided the Soviet borders in Yalta, not Truman. Truman would be seen as an aggressor, the one who breaks treaties, and America would be seen (as it always was and is right now) as a neo-colonialist superpower trying to achieve nothing but world domination. Public support for such offensive war would most likely be rather low and a peace treaty scenario with USSR taking over ALL of Europe, not part of it, is the most likely outcome. Read abouth the "Operation Unthinkable". The soviets knew about the plan, in fact, one of the reasons of its cancellation was the fact that as soon as it was proposed, the soviets immediately prepared their troops against any offensive action by the Allies.

[@ligmagaming6939]

​@@ЧукчаСКамчаткиwell said, brother. The occupation wasn't even that harsh, it just seems like that to people, who don't know how good the life under communism was (most of them don't know what communism even is)

[@ЧукчаСКамчатки]

@@ligmagaming6939 of course they don't. Western education shows only purges, human wave offensives and total tyranny in the USSR. For whatever reason, they absolutely ignore the fact that the quality of life in USSR was reasonably high during 50s, 60s, 70s and early 80s and nobody really cared about the lack of political rights since everyone was contempt.
