Bump. Dad ended up out in the Pacific with his brother because of that. Both survived. Lot of men lost.
The link leads to a huge collection of WWII audio, starting in 1932 with the rise of Hitler. If you don’t turn it off, you’ll go right through to 1946. It’s a fantastic resource for history buffs.
John Daly was one of the first, if not the first, to announce the Pearl Harbor attack.
He was also the first to read a translation of the Japanese surrender.
There are no newsmen like John Daly left in the world.
I wonder how many 18 years could name the decade in which WWII was fought? Same with the Civil war, and WWI.
For bonus points name which side Germany, England, France, US, Japan, and the Soviet Union (trick question on the Soviet Union since a case can be made they were on both sides at some point).
FDR maneuvered the US into that war.
God bless the heroes in any conflict.
