THE ROAD TO VICTORY
A Dramatized Documentary of World War II
Originally Broadcast May 8, 1945 on CBC
This radio program is the story of W.W. II. Utilizing a mixture of excerpts of actual speeches and dramatizations it brings to life the attitudes of that time.
During World War II, one of the strongest threads that connected every citizen to global events was their radio. With this one-hour documentary, listeners are treated to some of the most stirring speeches of the day.
Listen to Roosevelt's speech that includes, "The Hand that held the dagger stuck it into the back of its neighbour....", Neville Chamberlain announcing war with Germany, Winston Churchill stating "...this was their finest hour..." plus many other prominent people of that era. The dramatized segments of this docudrama add elements that uniquely convey the feelings of civilians and soldiers during the tumultuous times leading up to and during the war.
