2.French
Radio june 1944 (1 hour and 7 minutes long)
During the occupation French radio kept on broadcasting
under strict German control
This theme will be perfect for any event just before, during and after
D-day Normandy, play it when waiting for it in England, play it after
liberating the first French village or play it when waiting for the Allies
to invade!
No speeches related to a certain date, no news flashes about D-day or
anything like that, just normal music, some chatter and propaganda.
And ofcourse I have put some Special Coded messages from London for the
Resistance on there, including the Jamming sound the Germans chucked at
it.

4.BBC home and forces broadcast (2 h. and 55 m. long)
These files will sound like a regular BBC broadcast during WW2, to be
more exact; up to end 1942.
I have tried to make the files as generic as possible, no famous speeches,
no exciting newsflashes. Music, comedy sketches, war reports, and I also tried to use less familiar
tunes, no glenn miller or vera lynn but more unknown
songs.
So close the blackout curtains, light your pipe and turn on the wireless
and enjoy a nice night in to listen to whats going on in the world. |
|
5.Großdeutscher
Rundfunk (2 hours and 23 minutes long)
These files will sound like a regular Großdeutscher
Rundfunk broadcast during WW2.
These broadcasts would have been transmitted all over Europe.
I have tried to make the files as generic as possible, no famous speeches,
no exciting newsflashes. This broadcast is supposed
to be usable for reenactment events, anytime, anywhere, so it couldn't
be too specific. And... NO lili Marlene...

6.Wunschkonzert
fur die Wehrmacht
(4 hours and 30 minutes long)
Germanies wartime radio's 'Request Concert for the Armed Forces' programme
was broadcast every Sunday, with music chosen by the troops themselves:
stirring marches and sentimental ballads, comic songs and unit marching
songs.
Although these arent complete authentic Concerts,
they do have a few authentic introductions and almost 100 original German wartime tunes!

7.CBS
radio day 1939 (19 hours and 9 minutes long)
An entire day of CBS broadcasting 21st September 1939, listen to what the
American listener could hear in his home on the day WW2 began.

heard back then.
Music, newsflashes and the Louis Prima band to end
a perfect day...While in Europe all Hell Breaks loose.

|
|
10.Italy
1943 (2 hours and 30 minutes long)
Over 150 minutes of Italian radio broadcasts how it could have sounded
around 1943.
Songs, marches, anouncers talking, etc.
Interesting to use for people who portray Italian Forces during the war
or any other allied invasion scenario like the Battle for Salerno.
Be prepared to be disgusted when the Germans borrow some airtime to broadcast
a special programma for allied soldiers in Italy... sharing the names
of British POW's.
|
|
11.Russian
Music (Nearly 12 hours of music!)
I have searched all over the place to find more original Russian recordings
of Russian songs of the years 1935-1945 and added them to this file.
Now you can have 255 (!) songs,all digitally improved and downsized so
they take up less space.
Most songs are propaganda songs, marches, etc.
Some great stuff, I can just imagine a few soldiers listening to them
in the ruins of Stalingrad!
Its good for morale comrade!
|
|
12.Military Radio transmissions (1 hour long)
I have created about 10-20 minutes of ww2 radio transmissions you might
have been able to hear at the front.
Hear morse, a bit of local civilian radio or you might even pick up fragments
of a battle going on elsewhere.
Some of the files have more going on then others, I had to work with the
material I have.
For the price of 10 Euro's you get radio files for ALL the following nationalities; German, British, Russian, Japanese and American!

13.Charlie
& his Orchestra (1 hour and 46 minutes long)
Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's propaganda minister, assembled
a swing band called Charlie and His Orchestra to perform
Nazified versions of the jazz hits of the day to be broadcast on the medium-wave
and short-wave bands throughout the 1930s and 1940s to Canada, the US
and Britain.
The idea was to lure the masses in with the irrestible tonic of swing
music and, and slyly work the anti-Jewish, American and British lyrics
in only after the second or third verse.
|
|
14.The
attack on Pearl Harbour (20 hours and 50 minutes long)
This
broadcast file is the original broadcast on 7th and 8th December 1941.
Follow the news as broadcasted in the US from 2 in the afternoon (Eastern
Time) to 2 in the afternoon the next day.
Recordings of varied quality let you be witness to a chilling day when
broadcasts keep being interuppted for newsflashes.
The playlist gives the titles of the shows as they were supposed to be
broadcasted, dont be suprised if you get newsflashes in stead of the program
listed.

15.Words
at War (18 hours and 20 minutes long)
1943-1945 Words of War was an anthology of war stories,
"told by the men and women who have seen them happen." It was
produced in cooperation with the Council on Books in Wartime, promising
"stories of the battlefronts, of behind-the-scenes diplomacy, of
underground warfare, of the home front, of action on the seas." Each
show was to be "a living record of this war and things for which
we fought."

accounts of battle and other often very dangerous situations.
I have collected 107 of these broadcasts, ofcourse a few familiar ones,
a Churchill speech here and there, often before heard reports, but also
many you may not have heard yet.
All together nearly 2 hours filled with famous voices and infamous moments
in history.

music request programme.

Journal & Mailcall (nearly 20 hours)
With top-name talent like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Edward Bergen, Jack
Benny and many others, GI Journal was an exceptional musical-variety series
that entertained soldiers abroad during WWII.
12 half hour episodes of G.I.Journal, but I also added 17 half hour episodes
of Mail Call.
Shows broadcasted from the US and send to the soldiers at the front, these
two programmes are full with music with comedy sketches inbetween.
|
|
21.Soldiers
&Treasury Star Parade (nearly 4.5 hours)
Soldiers of the Press: The United Press had War Correspondents in nearly
all the theaters of action throughout the War, and these shows are dramatic
capsules of their "on-the-scene" eye witness accounts.Treasury Star Parade: Created by the US Treasury Department to stimulate
sales of war bonds, the series starred top-name talent such as E.G. Robinson and many others
who donated their time and 15-minute performances to the war cause.

programmes made by the Axis for the Allied soldiers, trying to confuse
them and undermine their morale.

Allied soldiers, hear them give the German view of the news, hear them
read out loud letters from Allied POW's or interviews with them.

frontline atmosphere for your display.
Use it in combination with a sound system or some hidden speakers and
you will find yourself right at the front.

euros

27.Radio
Ostfront (over
2 and a half hours of broadcast)
Imagine the scene,
German soldiers are listening to a small radio somewhere at the Eastfront.
A broadcast from home, German propaganda, music, sometimes difficult to
hear, is the transmission losing strength?
Slowly but surely the radio broadcast becomes worse and worse... is that
russian they hear?
Finally the German broadcast is pushed from the air by a Russian broadcast.
The Red army is coming closer, bringing with them speeches, propaganda
and lots of music.
|
|
29.Feindpropaganda (nearly
7 hours of unique material)
During the war the Allies broadcasted tons of propaganda into the German
Reich, although it was forbidden to listen to these stations countless
Germans couldnt help wanting to hear them.
I've found some rare original broadcasts from Radio America, The BBC,
Radio Moscow and even some German resistance broadcasts. Hear them talk
about the murdering of Jews, the bombing of Dresden, the battle for Berlin.

30.Harmonists (over
7.5 hours of great songs and rare material)
In the 1920s, 1930s and during the war a craze captured Germany, the people
couldnt get enough of so called Harmonists.
Groups of men singing lovely songs in harmony.
The most famous were of course the 'Comedian Harmonists' who were disbanded
when they were forced to fire their Jewish singers.
But there were many more bands, listen to their songs, some rare recordings
from movies, familiar tunes from a bygone era.

involved in the war. Most of these shows are half an hour long, lots of
comedy, music and fun.

And because its always almost Christmas this radiofile costs only 2.50
Euros
|
|
35.War of the worlds
The War of the Worlds was an
episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on
the Air. The live, 60 minute broadcast, presented mostly as a series of news bulletins,
frightened many listeners into believing that an actual Martian invasion
was in progress. There was public outcry against the episode, but it launched
Welles to great fame.
Welles's adaptation is possibly the most successful radio dramatic production
in history

7 hours of music from 1914-1918)
This is a collection
of tunes from the Great War, marches, songs, etc.

52.Battle of the Bulge (over 3 hours of music and radio broadcasts)
The reception in the Ardennes that very cold winter of 1944-1945 wasn't very good, but those few soldiers who had found a abandoned old radio or who were playing around with a army receiver might have heard something like this radiofile.
Listen as Allied broadcasts are being pushed aside by German propaganda, hear unique propaganda and even the famous Glenn Miller show for German soldiers!
I have added a extra ambient sound of wind and storm to help you imagine what it must have been like.
|
|
53.Radio Moscow (over 2 hours of music and radio broadcasts)
This is a propaganda broadcast for all Soviet troops, it will enhance morale and help them remember what they are fighting for.
