🎧 On June 6, 1944 during the evening, the 32nd President of the United States of America Franklin Delano Roosevelt made a radio broadcast for the Nation for the first time since Allied forces landed in Normandy. It tooks the form of a joint prayer with the American people about the D-Day operation. Recorded from the White House.
Here are his words, accompanied by a music of Scott Buckley.

_______________________________________
✒️ A political history enthusiast and Hearts of Iron IV content creator, my goal is simple: to convey the grandeur of speeches by political and military figures from the 1930s and 40s, enhanced by musical orchestration using (almost exclusively) royalty-free tracks. I ensure that all content is translated into multiple languages with synchronized subtitles—including the original language, French, English, and others in most cases—and is properly sourced and verified. I also publish period songs and music. The aim is to transform the in-game experience into an immersive historical journey, both visual and auditory.
The audio library currently features 98 original speeches or broadcasts, 69 of which are set to music, and 25 songs. It comprises over 8 hours of audio covering 25 major and minor nations (France, the UK, the USA, the USSR, Germany, Japan, Turkey, Denmark, Romania, etc.). Audio availability depends on your specific game scenario.
There is plenty more content to come, so be sure to subscribe!

⚖️ Note on Historical Integrity & Ethics
These speeches are published as part of a neutral, objective historical presentation, combined with an aesthetic, musical approach.
Authenticity: The spoken words have not been altered. However, some speeches have been shortened to reduce in-game listening time, which would otherwise have been far too long and tedious. I therefore strongly encourage you to check out the full archives available online for a deeper understanding of the context and the issues at stake.
Respect & Values: No racist or antisemitic remarks are tolerated. Problematic segments have been systematically removed, as they have no place in the game or on this channel.
