Last Broadcasts of Countries 

i have a question, what is that background sound or someone singing at 6:37 which is where the british malaya last broadcast is

@@Wildrussianedit i think it's just people speaking/panicking in the background, but the recording is not of high enough quality to know

Last broadcast of RRI (National Radio of Indonesia) on Timor Leste on September 1999. Timor Leste is occupied by Indonesia for 25 years since free from Portugal on 1974. There are many recording of it on youtube.

Hey, I've tried to post a link with translation of the last broadsast of Czechoslovak radio in 1968 but the comment was automatically deleted.

They couldn't do much, but I wonder why it was a American artillery man march.

Reminds me of "Casablanca" when the French out-sang the Germans with their anthem.

I loved that. Our Hungarian plea was very characteristically tragic, like our anthem. The efforts of the French were brave and gallant, like THEIR anthem. I think a nation’s anthem predestines it to some degree to its national spirit.

they cared pretty much. it was a disastrous defeat against germany.

"hah we don't like your nation so we're going to outplay you with a song"

the unintelligible part is the hungarian language

it's "over the Trans-Danubian provinces", not to

​@@TF2Goblinno shit

they sure were a lot more worried about the communists then most countries were about the germans lol

Thats the president Emil Hácha himself

Honestly, it's so sad. It is the voice of president Emil Hácha, who at the time was persuaded to accept the position in the rump second Czechoslovak republic (after Munich) and eventually the protectorate. At the time, he was already quite old and tired and constantly under pressure. He took a bullet for us and sadly to this day, many people just see him as a collaborator and don't bother to look a bit deeper into his life.

failure and psychic destruction...... bohužel nebylo na výběr Anglie a Francie nás odevzdali aby pak zjistili že udělali chybu..

Real government was in exile in UK, but yeah, Emil Hácha was forced to say everything, he even got heart attack during negotiations with nazis in Berlin before actual invasion and after that, he was probably not the same person as before. He died in prison after WWII, but later judge court said that due to his health, he was not responsible for his decisions.

​@JackTheMurderer German was the one to rush out before Italy could prepare their military properly.

​@@vacuousbard6410 The Germans also gave no warning to Italy whatsoever. Much of the invasions/wars Germany perpetuated aggravated Italy, including that of the war with the USSR, to which Mussolini has had several commentaries over the war with the Soviets. Some interesting ones and trivia: Upon the declaration of war: "I hope for only one thing...that in this war in the East the Germans lose many feathers. It’s a falsity to talk about an anti-Bolshevik struggle. Hitler knows that Bolshevism has not existed for some time." - Benito Mussolini, 1941 He would constantly push Hitler to make peace with the Russians, to the point that before his arrest in 1943, he was planning on sending the Germans an ultimatum; Peace with Russia or Italy leaves the conflict. "The Germans have never grasped the importance of the Mediterranean, never... they maintained and still maintain that Russia is a deadly peril to Western and European civilization. I tried to convince Hitler that this was a meaningless phrase... Stalin has killed Bolshevism... in contrast to Trotsky, he has completely renounced world revolution." - Benito Mussolini, 1943 Overall, Italy was not ready at all for the war as during the 30s, they were still in the process of demilitarizing the industry from the legacy government and WW1. Only by 42, did they manage to start getting remotely developed but overarchingly, their airforce was the main thing going for them to compete with the other nations of Europe.

"GG guys, third time's the charm"

@@radajradaj Exactly. It was recorded both to commemorate the Liberation, as well as to raise morale in the nation.

well in the end, it still allowed a lot of hungarians to flee to austria and from there escape from the communist dictatorship afaik, but the that was it because the world didn't want to anger the soviet union. It really sounds similar to what happened with the spanish civil war tbf.

@hakimi69420 I know, but the "fun" is actually misused here. Better use fact or sad fact here, cuz you know. Anyway, I'm not trying to argue here. You'll get the point.

The marching sounds before the Dutch anthem played were Japanese soldiers entering the NIROM radio station, in the same room where the announcer was making the final broadcast.

thanks !

I heard that too, I thought he said parachute troops *or* transdanubian provinces, but your explanation makes much more sense.

Not to speak about Russian denial and outright gloryfication about its past…

Yea, their claim of not wanting territorial agrandizement was bull####.

@@anderslarsen1321 Russia's past is absolutely to be glorified. If the French, the English, the Spanish, the Italian, the Greek, the Turkish, the Austrian, the Egyptian, etc. pasts are to be glorified, so is Russian. Their history is absolutely wonderful, and so meaningful for the modern world. Without Russia, today's life would've been so much worse, as you're probably not aware of how many inventions the Russians blessed us with.

It's probably because the German regime was collapsing by the end of the war with Hitler dead and most high-ranking Nazis surrendering, while the Japanese regime only surrendered due to Hirohito breaking the tie and requesting a surrender.

A side effect of literal translating. It may very well be "while sleeping" but in the original language context makes it understood to mean "without knowledge."

私は日本人です。確かにこの放送の大部分で話されている日本語は非常に難解であり、細部までを理解するのには古語の知識が必須です。しかし、冒頭の「米英中ソに共同宣言を受諾する旨通告した」や中盤の「戦局必ずしも好転せず」などといった文言は現代日本においても通じる比較的庶民的な言い回しです。ラジオがあった家庭においてはこの旨を理解した一般人も一定数いたと思われます。また、この放送を理解できなかった一般人にも、天皇に絶対忠誠を誓う軍人や警察などにより日本の一般市民へ明確に終戦が伝えられ、その結果多くの市民と軍人は天皇に従い、敗戦という現実に向き合いました。一部の軍部が終戦の決定に反発しクーデター未遂を起こしたものの、天皇が決断し国民に発信した降伏そのものが比較的平和にアメリカの占領統治を受け入れることができたのだと思います。

That being said, the Chinese can understand it easily for ancient Japanese essentially took all its words from Chinese.

@@vincilo8835 Not really unless you take Chinese literature. Reading 古話 is really like reading a foreign language even though you kind of know what the words mean. Even those of us who speak other Chinese languages which retain older forms of expression and are closer to “old Chinese” like Cantonese may find it difficult to read since most of the time, unless it’s Mandarin, we just speak the word without knowing how it’s actually written.

@@vincilo8835not really, unless it was a telegraph transmission that was written down and you know classical chinese (back then not many people did)

@@vincilo8835 No one in China who has lived in the last 1000 years would understand a word of this speech without first knowing Japanese. The pronunciation of the ideograms in the on'yomi reading come from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties and there are components that are natively Japanese and alien to the Chinese languages, which are the particles, not to mention the various natively Japanese words (for example the second one, "fukaku"). What makes the text difficult for Japanese to understand are some unusual words, but the main information, the surrender of the war, is easily understood and conveyed to everyone at the time.

Not to take away from the tragedy in Poland, but Belarus lost even more in WW2, about 25% of its population.

I hear something similar of Hirohito’s broadcast as well. He was speaking in a really formal/archaic form of Japanese that regular people couldn’t understand to the point that they had to translate the message for the common people.

I also want to know what song is the interval Signal!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IE0VddDqJa8.html it's an archived recording from cesky rozhlas.

It was the Hungarian anthem called Himnusz (literally means anthem). Its lyrics was written by Kölcsey Ferenc in 1823 and was later set to music in 1844 by Erkel Ferenc. Finally it was put in law in 1908, thus making it the official anthem of Hungary. By the way, after the second world war from the 1950's until the regime change in 1991 it was banned by the soviet regime to sing its lyrics due to it's being religious. Its first line is "Isten, álld meg a magyart..." , meaning "God, bless the Hungarian...". Also Rákosi Mátyás (the communist puppet leader of Hungary between 1945 and 1956) wanted to write a new (communist) anthem with Illyés Gyula and Kodály Zoltán, but Kodály replied to it by saying "Comrade Rákosi, the anthem (himnusz) has already been written.".

One is prior to the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the nazis and the other by the Warsaw pact. I’m not sure what exactly you would like me to explain. I am a native Czech speaker so I can understand it perfectly.
