Overlord

I've been listening to the CBS News broadcasts from June 6, 1944 today [Link]. It's interesting to hear the newscasters use words like "we" and "our" when referring to the Allied troops. They don't use the first person anymore.

Another thing to note is the how news reports talk about how well things were going for the Allies ("few casualties" was said often). We know now that while the invasion was a success, it hardly went according to plan and the early stages of the assault were almost a disaster for the Allies; and the news broadcasts did give "eyewitness" reports. The news did not question "our version" like they constantly do now.

That's it for now. I need to look up what "Eastern War Time" means. That term was used several times during the news.
