This upload contains the complete broadcast day for NBC Radio on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The broadcast begins at 2:50 a.m. Eastern War Time and continues until 6:00 p.m. on June 7, 1944. Not only is the news coverage professional and excellent at providing a real-time look at what the American people were learning as news was breaking, it is interesting to hear so many different religious leaders offer prayers in support of the invasion, the soldiers and the country. A different time.
