I'm already on hour 5 of 25 hours. They way these reporters are describing everything is just awesome! We even get to hear from the King of Belgium and the King of England.

I've listened to this a couple of times over the last 3-4 years. There is also an NBC Radio version available on the Internet Archives. I prefer the CBS broadcast as many of the correspondents became mainstays on the CBS Evening News in the 1960s, so their names are familiar to me.

 

You can really feel yourself slipping back in time listening to this. I was struck how similar the format was compared to today's news when covering a breaking story. They had very little to go on besieds skimpy foreign broadcasts and little else until later in the day of June 6th. I can only imagine the excitement people on the home fronts of that time must have been experiencing.
