D-Day Coverage Part 2 6/6/1944

Today is June 6, the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied troops landed on the beaches of France to begin their liberation of the continent. In recognition of this day, we will be presenting multiple episodes of the podcast today, hoping to give you a feeling of what it was like as the news unfolded on the home front.

Our second episode consists of two segments. First is General Eisenhower’s broadcast to the resistance forces in Western Europe, telling them to be ready to assist the attack. Then we have an afternoon report from war correspondent Elmer Peterson delivered over NBC.
