Henry Tchop hosts this YouTube Channel devoted to following World War II in real time using the Chicago Tribune, vintage radio broadcasts, music, and occasionally movies to tell the story of the world's biggest drama as it was told on the United States home front. There are playlists devoted to years. One features the early years of recorded media to 1937. Others cover 1938, 39, and 40 with a new episode being produced several times a week. Beginning with the late June, 1939 videos Henry begins reading the newspaper. Hearing events develop makes the programs dramatic and helps put the radio programs featured into an historical context. The videos stay as faithful as possible to the past including terminology read from the newspapers that might shock the modern listener. It was, after all, a different era and this series will help you understand the era like no other series before.
