Notes

"From 1931 to 1945, the Editors of Time, the Weekly Newsmagazine, presented radio reenactments, by actors and commentators, of major news stories days after they actually happened, in a series of broadcasts called The March of Time. This record includes two of those broadcasts: "Hitler's March on Czechoslovakia," from the broadcast of March 17, 1939, and "The United States' First Week at War" from the broadcast of December 11, 1941."

From outer wrap:
"Before You Play This Record
This is a collector's item, rather than simply a recording. The sound tracks on the enclosed disc were first made almost 30 years ago, directly from radio broadcasts of The March Of Time. Consequently, the quality of reproduction is markedly inferior to what we now expect. In addition, the only existing master record has itself suffered some damage over the years.
In some passages you will have to listen closely to catch the words of The March Of Time actors over the roar of the sound effects; in others, the scratchiness and static of the original recording still appears.
Despite this-perhaps all the more because of this-the impact of these historic moments and the tense emotion and prejudice that surrounded them come through with startling clarity. The editors of Time-Life Books are proud to be able to offer you this re-creation of a time and a mood and a series of events which will fascinate students and amateurs of history for many generations to come."
