CBS D-DAY COVERAGE

Listen to the "way it was" as the invasion to liberate Europe started. This is not CNN, but a very interesting early attempt to bring the American listener the fastest news available for the technology of the times. World history a half century ago. The coverage starts with June 6th and continues through the next day. Hear it again, the way we heard it, as it happened, over a half century ago, live, and with a few technical delays. Listen to all of CBS's top news reporters cover every aspects of the beginning of the end for the Axis.
