This track is a follow-up to the broadcast of Drew Pearson's track. Walter Winchell was nothing like Drew Pearson, but it is interesting to hear what millions of Americans (and beyond) were hearing on radio as World War II was approaching the end. This was broadcast on February 25. 1945... less than three months before the end of the war in Europe and about 6 months before the Pacific war with Japan ended. Listening to what millions of people heard on the radio through the broadcasts of people like Walter Winchell, Drew Pearson, Ed Murrow and others... is a lesson in the reality and culture of those WW II years...We must not forget what happened, because as we get further away from those times...younger generations know nothing of the horrors of a generation... and forgetting or not being taught about the horrors can lead to repeating them or worse.
