Listen to radio coverage of the last remaining weeks of World War Two! This horrific conflict lasted from 1939 to 1945, with the U.S. joining the fight against the Axis Powers in 1941. The war involved more than 100 million personnel from more than 30 countries, resulting in 85 million fatalities. Many of the deaths were from genocide, massacres, and disease, making World War II by far the deadliest conflict in human history. We're going to begin with Mutual Broadcasting System coverage of the death of Adolf Hitler, plus reports on victory in Europe, the dropping of the atomic bomb, and the Japanese surrender, from NBC, the ABC Blue Network, and CBS radio.
