Highlights from rare recording of the complete NBC radio broadcast day from June 6, 1944:
6:30 pm: Lowell Thomas
7:30 pm: Poem and Prayer for an Invading Army - Ronald Colman
9:00 pm: Cross-Country Reaction to D-Day
9:30 pm: Fibber McGee and Molly
10:00 pm: President Roosevelt D-Day Prayer
The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of France (and later western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.
Planning for the operation began in 1943. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, codenamed Operation Bodyguard, to mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. The weather on D-Day was far from ideal, and the operation had to be delayed 24 hours; a further postponement would have meant a delay of at least two weeks, as the invasion planners had requirements for the phase of the moon, the tides, and the time of day that meant only a few days each month were deemed suitable. Adolf Hitler placed Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in command of German forces and of developing fortifications along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion. US President Franklin D. Roosevelt placed Major General Dwight D. Eisenhower in command of Allied forces.

I grew up from 1962 to 1976 and these songs were still active especially around July 4th, Memorial Day, and Veterans Day and just in general. That time was the absolute end of solid patriotism in the United States 🇺🇸

Thanks for listening! You might also enjoy this VJ Day program. It's one of my absolute favorites. Includes Crosby, Sinatra, Welles, Hope, Truman plus prayers by top Army and Navy chaplains. A humble prayer of thanksgiving. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_zHmD4h_TE.htmlsi=9Flo07lVySY7i-eu More in our playlist linked here: WWII.ChestertonRadio.com

Thanks for posting. These words have traveled 77 years to share history with us. They are a genuine snapshot of the moment.

Thanks for listening! We also have the complete CBS radio broadcast day in our playlist: D-Day.ChestertonRadio.com This begins with first preliminary reports and then official announcement of the invasion. Interesting that the first reports were from German sources who said invasion was not at Normandy. More great shows are also in our WWII.ChestertonRadio.com playlist.

Another great WWII series on our channel is "These Are Our Men." This presented biographies of the men who won WWII with a celebrity host (Jack Benny, Sinatra, etc.) This includes bios of FDR, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, Nimitz, Patton plus reporter Ernie Pyle and more.

One of my absolute favorite shows of any type is this Command Performance show for VJ Day. The whole show is essentially a humble prayer of thankgiving and includes Crosby, Sinatra, Orson Welles, President Truman and more. Command Performance was a show usually broadcast just to servicemen. This one was broadcast at home as well. Begins and ends with prayers by head Army and Navy chaplains. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r_zHmD4h_TE.html

The Command Performance show even includes Sinatra introducing Bing who sings White Christmas!

This is so sobering yet amazing to be able to relive what that greatest generation went through on that D-Day. 🇺🇸 - What’s most striking is the amount of faith in God, in Jesus Christ, in prayer, the county had. We wouldn’t be in the state of immortality we are today if the Supreme Court in 1962 didn’t remove God from our K-12 schools.
