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.
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....
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.
@@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.
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?"
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.
I got goosebumps from the French one literally no final message just the national anthem playing with I believe it’s gunshots in the background but at the same time this was probably another way of the French telling it’s citizen to prepare for the worse
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
I love Greek, from brazil, one Day i Will visit Creta island and historical Citys like athens and sparta (but not online these) i love you country and you Rich history, long Live to greek and brazil
Context: On September 1 The Germans declared war on Rzeczpospolita Polska startment of WW2 BBC announced that german declared war on Rzeczpospolita Polska, Parliament was announced that parliament from 6pm that evening (9/3/1939) Prime Minister Neville (UK) Declared war on Germany due to German declaring war on Poland (9/27/1939) German troops entered Warsaw and surrendered the area, Then hel peninsula was attacked by germans (6/14/1940) France was getting attacked by Germany, The anthem was played during the attack. (5/19/1941) Greece was getting attacked by axis powers, Before the capture of Athens, Outskirts of Athens, German entered a deserted city. (6/22/1941) Where Operation Barbarossa started, The government of ussr has announced a war with germany after broking of there pact.
@@Oberschutzee Rzeczpospolita Polska is the current full name, so what's the problem in shortening in that way? I have definitely come across it (the word "Rzeczpospolita" as in, the 'modern' Poland) before, not just in casual conversations and RU-vid comments.
I don't know why, but yt recommended some vids to me today, about how poorly Japan teaches about WW II. One woman, a tour guide at Hiroshima, told tourists, "We were just living peacefully when for no reason America dropped the atomic bomb on us." Another comment said WW II is covered in 19 pages in his high school yearbook. And so on. Textbooks in Japan must all be approved by their gov't. This needs to change! Germany, btw, is widely regarded as doing an excellent job.
Just watch Part 1 of DZRH 73 year history video, they put archive recordings of what transpired as the Philippines descend into the darkest hour. Bertrand Silen (who was the station manager of KZRH Radio Heacock, an NBC Red Network station affiliate in Manila) was one of the voice heard on the air on the afternoon of December 8, 1941 as the several Japanese planes bomb the metropolis and other military bases elsewhere. Lt Gen Jonathan Wainwright was the voice heard on the Japanese controlled KZRH on May 6, 1942 as he announces the surrender of USAFFE and his plea to other Allied forces to surrender. KZRH is now known as DZRH since 1947 and it is now owned by the Manila Broadcasting Company of the Elizalde family.

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.
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.
@@user-en5hc9vg9hwell 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)
@@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.
1 Russia Just had 50 per cent of population of Ussr in 1945 so calling the whole Ussr Russia Is stupid, 2 Ussr outnumbered greatly the Allies, yes Better production but a Gun needs a solider to be useful, 3 Ussr had Just Lost milions of lives and It would be super imperialistic to not give them a juicy reward for the hellish 4 Years they suffered.
You forgot the soldiers from the FFI, FFL and the soldiers that kept the maginot line / bunkers in the italian border. These guys and every soldier fighting in the french army didn't surrender.
@@WebmsJU but thier individual bravery can't change the fact that France is the universal surrendering symbol, you should see how france also surrendered🏳🏳 against an army of farmers equipped with double barrel guns and hunting stuff in Algeria 😁😂
