This recording presents NBC news coverage from the morning of June 6, 1944, the day Allied forces began the D-Day landings in Normandy. It offers a contemporaneous radio account of a major turning point in World War II, heard in the immediate context of unfolding events.
As a broadcast-day news program, it captures the sound and style of wartime radio reporting rather than a later dramatic retelling. The focus is news and information, giving listeners a sense of how the invasion was communicated to audiences at the time.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
