New York Times page 1 photo on June 8, 1944 (mirror image). Archive.org has a bunch of recordings for D+2. Most of them are BBC snippets of less than a minute. Presumably they were broadcast as part of longer newscasts, but who knows. I will post them together as a reply below. The one full-length recording is a 14:35 D-Day report from Charles Collingwood of CBS. Click on the link below to listen. CBS News – Charles Collingwood on beach at Normandy Charles Collingwood

New York Times page 1 photo on June 7, 1944 Archive.org has many recordings for the days following June 6. Most of today’s recordings have time stamps like the ones yesterday. The final two don’t and they are both from the same source – NBC reporter George Hicks, broadcasting from the deck of the U.S.S. Ancon, a converted ocean liner that had previously seen service in the Mediterranean. The first short bite is partially included in the second longer one.

I will be posting radio broadcasts throughout the day. A time stamp is embedded in the url address for most of the recordings. At about 8 ½ minutes into the 0330 CBS broadcast Robert Trout mentions that they began a tour of the CBS studio at “3 o’clock in the morning – 35 minutes ago.” So that marks the time stamps as Eastern War Time, equivalent to today’s Eastern Daylight Time. Normally that is 5 hours earlier than London and Normandy time, but in 1944 England was on British Double Daylight time. That makes for a 6 hour difference...
