Please listen to this audio clip. It was recorded at about 3:30 a.m. on June 6, 1944.
Go to the 60:00 mark and listen to Herbert M. Clark’s dispatch from London. He was on a ship in the English Channel as it made its way to the Normandy coast.

Thanks for posting this.
Clark certainly understood, didn’t he? To paraphrase; “My loyalty to those of you listening back home is superceded by my loyalty to those sailors and soldiers on these ships”. He had no intention of broadcasting anything that could be intercepted and used by the Germans to harm the Allied invasion.
