The Battle of the Bulge traps American paratroopers in the Ardennes Forest as the thick of winter begins to set in. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, General MacArthur returns to the Philippines after fleeing two years earlier to Australia.

    Those first reports of the battle of the bulge must have been terrifying to hear live especially considering how little information they had to work with. Without context it sounds like the Germans made it much closer to Antwerp than they ever did.

      You can find vintage Admiral radios for sale. Sadly, Admiral got hammered by low price imports and pretty much disappeared. I vaguely recall having a few Admiral products in our house - cannot recall what - probably a radio and maybe a TV.

    We forget, unfortunately, the superb job that our American radio and newspaper networks did in aiding our war effort. This great set of recordings demonstrates, once again, that the ability for radio and to hear, is much better than the ability to see also--though televised is great also. These days, our military restricts journalists too much--they learned after America became so horrified watching Vietnam play out (I was a kid in the sixties and my parents often sent me from the room when our news came on every evening). I still hope that one day the American people will remove GOP hate-based radio interspersed with ethnic music, and will return at least part of our airways to this most-democratic form of journalism. For probably about five Dollars, every American could afford a small radio...

    I realize everything had to go through censorship, but did the office of war information write some of these scripts? It seemed obvious that some of the combat soldiers being interviewed hadn't seen the script they were reading before they read it into the microphone because they stumbled over many of the words.

    At 9:45 a reporter is interviewing a Lt. John Mitchell of the Coast Guard. There is a good chance this is the same John Mitchell who would eventually become Attorney General of the US. in the Nixon administration and would be engulfed in the Watergate Scandal.

      Fdr was a venerated by the media because he was a communist and globalist and aided the communist agenda which the media has always endorsed.
      Contemporary personalities who were equally famous/popular for their role in winning the war like general MacArthur and Paton were trashed by the media because while they risked their lives and their Men’s lives to fight the axis (and so had great credibility) they also knew and said publicly that communists were just as big a threat to humanity as the axis and they were shunned and derided by the media for It.
