Part 5 of the Breaking Walls series on CBS's #DDay broadcast on June 6, 1944.
#DDay80
At 9AM eastern war time, CBS World News signed on with Douglas Edwards reporting. On D-Day Edwards was twenty-six years old. He’d been hired in 1942 by CBS as a reporter and understudy for John Daly. When Daly was sent overseas to cover the war in 1943 Edwards was promoted to lead The World Today, World News Today, and Report to the Nation. In 1945, Edwards was sent to London to cover the final weeks of the war with Edward R. Murrow. He was then appointed the network's news bureau chief in Paris and assigned to cover post-war elections in Germany and the start of the Nuremberg trials. By this time, fourteen thousand Canadian troops had taken Juno Beach, pressing inland. British and American forces, including those at Omaha, took control of their beachheads. The Allies brought in tanks, tended to the wounded and cleared away mines on the beaches. They also started pressuring German forces at Caen. Hitler finally agreed to send reinforcements to Normandy. Once World News Today signed off Robert Trout was back on the air for the final forty-five minutes of the special news broadcast. #radio #oldtimeradio #otr #retro #americana #podcast #ushistory #radiodrama #history #dday80 #dday #1944 #1940s #worldwarii #worldwar2 #normandylanding #normandy #london #edwardrmurrow #edwardrmurrow #cbsnews #cbs #douglasedwards #johndaily

youtu.beI'm doing some writing for the Juno Beach Centre about #DDay and came across this War Diary entry. Do you know who that is?
Despite the addition of DMs, I will refrain from bombarding you with D-Day trivia on your birthday.
Bombarding: Much like what the Allied Navy did to the Atlantic Wall emplacements in the pre-dawn hours before launching the landing crafts.
Army Welfare, Italian Morale reports, and war diaries at the TNA today. Best random artifact found in a box was the script to Babes in the Wood panto performed in Italy during Xmas 1944. Complete with references to DDay Dodging and a rather lewd dame!
