    I often listen to WW2 radio wondering if my dad listened to the same broadcast. He was 18 years old headed to Europe to fly for the 8th Air-force. The best generation!

    I’ve always found it fascinating that we can listen to the voices of people who are long dead as if they were still walking the earth.

      So do I, especially when I'm watching old shows. I can't help but think to myself that these people, once alive are no longer with us. In a way though we're lucky that we get to record the past to share with future generations. It means something of us will go on beyond ourselves thanks to our technology. Thanks for listening!

      I wouldn't have minded living back then. The world was way less populated and developed. I think I would've enjoyed it. Though there are things about today I'd miss, like computers.

    Must have been quite a technical feat in those days to synchronise all those broadcasts from different parts of the world and do all the organisation for it over the radio too.

    • @BlackAtomProductions
      @BlackAtomProductions  8 месяцев назад

      I'm sure it was. I'm always impressed at how quickly the US was able to bounce back after Pearl Harbor and rebuild our units lost so quickly. That took some major coordination and sacrifice of resources all around by the American people to make that happen. I guess that's why they're called the greatest generation. Thanks for listening!
