News bulletins and SHAEF Communiqué No. 1 (rebroadcast). Eisenhower's 'Order of the day' and advice to occupied countries quoted.
Ed Hawker's eye witness account.
Timeline D-Day news flashes until so far.
Louis P. Lockner, European correspondent for the NBC, gives his commentary, talking about Hitler as the "intuition corporal Adolf Hitler himself" (?!). His coloured vision on the invasion is given with great enthousiasm. Before the war he was in Germany as a journalist, where he inspected the German fortifications (!).
Morgan Beatty, in the NBC newsroom in Washington, gives his view on what the Germans may or may not do as an answer on the invasion. Citing Churchill, "Our soldiers' lives are expended in accordance with military plans and not for political reasons."
Churchill told Commons that an immense allied armada of 4000 ships (...) had carried allied forces across the Channel for the invasion.
