Hello and welcome to Zero Hour.

As a supplemental for this week's episode, I've uploaded an episode of Zero Hour to the podcast feed.

This particular episode is from September 14, 1944.

It's the highest quality one I could find, thanks a bunch to the folks over at the Internet Archive for

putting it together, by the way. But the quality still isn't great. That's just a thing that

happens with shortwave radio. Still, if you're interested, you should definitely give it a listen.

So without further ado, here is Zero hour.

This is the zero hour, calling and up to-fitting. And for the next twenty-five minutes, we're going to take you through music as you like it, sweet and hard and otherwise. News can all over the world and a thought for the fight, sometimes even two thoughts for the day.

First, let's have the fighting news for the fighting men.

Although the bulk of the fighting on the western front is still in

the area between dives and southern rivers, the center of gravity of the allied offensive at present

is one matched than before in the mobile wing of the American army operating between Normandy

and law. The first Canadian army has been trying to accomplish a breakthrough between Horn and

dives. The Allied pressure in Normandy was brought to bear partly with the intention of tying down the bulk of the German counters up in the area south of San Diego.

The third United States Army pushed forward as motorized shearheads, the strong Air Force port from middle of the Tass Eastwood in order to cut off the German communication.

The American

users from Nantes and Angers appeared to be moving forward towards the Loire. In Brittany, the Allies

redoubled his efforts to take the fortified coastal places. First flooding is going on for

Orient and off breath. In San Malo, the German garrison is continuing to offer heroic resistance.

There was no notable change in the battle line between the Ceylon River and the area south of Vier.

The battle continues north and north-east of Falaise. Chair Canadian attacks were met by German troops with stubborn resistance.

In Italy, no major operations took place on Saturday.
