The Sound of War - Single Episodes
Leído por David Greenspan
The Sound of War is a collection that captures the essence of World War II through actual sound recordings. With a total of 18 episodes, this series features notable figures such as Adolf Hitler, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and many others, providing a unique auditory experience of this pivotal era.
The tagline, "The Actual Sound Record of World War II," emphasizes the drama preserved through radio. Although the exact broadcast dates are unclear, the episodes seem to originate from the late 1950s or early 1960s. Interestingly, there are three episodes titled "The Fall of France," each offering a distinct perspective on this significant event.
Produced by Bud Greenspan and narrated by his brother David Greenspan, also known as David Perry, the series stands as a testament to their later work in film sports documentaries, particularly about the Olympics.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.

sobering

I urge anyone who has not heard this to listen. A dark time in our history, may it never be repeated.
Priceless history of WW2 in original audio recordings!

Glad I had a chance to hear what people heard on radio back in the days of WW2! Would help if it was organized in orser history happened, instead there is a lot of jumping around timetable.
Interesting

This is a very interesting set of shows. Some times the narrator sounds like a Ronald Reagan, especially on the intros, but I don't think is is him. I love this series.
very good historical account but it jumps around to much

Compelling History

listening to this and the radio news from the war years gives a much fuller picture of the people involved. I have learned to love FDR for the man of vision he was. Winston Churchill as the tower of power he was for all the Allied Forces. Yes and even Neville Chamberlain for man of peace that never wanted his people to suffer the horrors of WW1 again. Very much worth the time. Thank you for posting this.
Worth the time to listen!
