I really do care less about it, but I don't mind if you have it.

During WW2 there was no FM radio, if there was it was miniscule.

Radio transmissions were on shortwave bands, with some AM.

There is no way you would have heard entertainment radio in the air during WW2. If you did it would have been very rare.

Even today you cannot hear AM when you go under overpass. The largest AM stations prior to FM transmitted 50,000 watts, WLS in Chicago.

So when people mention immersive my thinking pertains to things that were actually available and were part of the period of time discussed.

Again, I have no problem with any part of your request. I'm just saying if you are thinking historically immersive... I'm not in agreement with that.

Here is a link to a bunch of old Wartime music, interviews and such http://www.stelzriede.com/ms/html/sub/mshws.htm#ww2

It might be fun to have a thread with old WW2 music and broadcasts. Members could stop by share and enjoy some of the broadcasts.

Kinda help us all think on the reality of the times and events.

You start it... I'll contribute
