BW - EP152—010: D-Day's 80th Anniversary—High Noon Prayer with Kate Smith and Invasion Updates

It’s nearly twelve o’clock and time for me to get back to 485 Madison Avenue. At least I got about five hours sleep, that’s more than I can say for many of my colleagues. I just phoned in. The allies are pushing inland in France. A few thousand have been killed on the beaches of Normandy, but the German resistance has been much lighter than expected. The Luftwaffe are nowhere to be found. The Allied command is uneasy, we know it won’t be all quiet on the western front forever. Kate Smith is signing on CBS. There’ll be news updates to follow.
