I highly recommend you to have a listen to this excellent episode of the six-part BBC documentary 'A Friend In The Corner'.
This is a look at the history of the BBC radio service, and this episode concentrates on 1943, with half an hour of soundbytes from 1943 broadcasts. Even as someone who enjoys and collects wartime broadcasts, this is full of unheard clips.
You'll hear the first ever recording made in a bomber over Germany. There's news, interviews, comedy, songs and much more.
