Listening to the documentary of BBC Radio I have heard many interviews, many voices, many real time recordings of events I have never heard before.
On side 3 I heard Howard Carter interviewed, Hitler and Mussolini speaking, the first Bing Crosby, the Announcement of War by Chamberlain, real sound recordings and reporting of the Blitz of London, Vera Lynn speaking on the radio, Churchill's announcement of the fall of France.
It was fascinating and engrossing.
