S4 Ep6 Peace in Our Time
Manage episode 340533102 series 3281959
ROMANTIC WWII AUDIO DRAMA / HISTORICAL RADIO PLAY SERIES SET IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC, CHINA AND JAPAN. Season Four of the Podcast. It's the Spring of 1945, and the Second World War is in its fourth year in the Pacific. On April 12th, President Roosevelt dies of a cerebral hemorrhage, and Harry Truman becomes President. Two weeks later, Adolph Hitler commits suicide, and the Nazis surrender. With Germany defeated in Europe, the U.S. and its allies focus their full attention on the Japanese. They mine Japan's home islands, preventing vital food and fuel from reaching port. Hundreds of U.S. B-29s carry out a relentless fire-bombing campaign, devastating Tokyo and nearly ever major industrial city. And yet Japan's militarists refuse to surrender. In Hawaii, most interned Japanese-Americans have been released from the camps. Nightly blackouts and martial law have finally ended, but the U.S. military still controls the islands. Hawaiian civilians are counting the days until the war is over. And with Japan nearly vanquished, the Chinese civil war between the Communists and the Nationalists is about to explode again. While at the same time, Russia is moving on Manchuria and ready to take any advantage it can in China, and in Japan.
