From Neville Chamberlain's historic declaration
of war in Germany in 1939 to the sounds of
rejoicing crowds on VJ Day in August 1945,
the BBC brought the full picture of both the
battle front and the home front, as well as the
major speeches, to an attentive nation.
The strident sounds of battle, the stirring and
inspiring words of Churchill, Montgomery and
Roosevelt, reached every sitting room. News
and information about the war - in all it's
ramifications - was brought home with the
rawness and immmediacy of these original
reports.
This unique chronicle of war recordings,
preserved for over 40 years, is both a
testament to the BBC War Correspondents and
a rare document in history.
