WWII News 1945-08-14 20:30 Japanese Surrender


This is a contemporary amateur home recording of a live WWII-era radio news broadcast (see note below). The label is marked "#4 News Of Jap Surrender Aug 14, 1945". There is no time indication on this disk's label; I chose a time between the times indicated on the adjacent disks. It features a brief history and analysis of the surrender followed by live scenes of the street celebrations in New York, Washington, and Cleveland.

This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
