@@Wildrussianedit i think it's just people speaking/panicking in the background, but the recording is not of high enough quality to know

Last broadcast of RRI (National Radio of Indonesia) on Timor Leste on September 1999. Timor Leste is occupied by Indonesia for 25 years since free from Portugal on 1974. There are many recording of it on youtube.

Hey, I've tried to post a link with translation of the last broadsast of Czechoslovak radio in 1968 but the comment was automatically deleted.

They couldn't do much, but I wonder why it was a American artillery man march.

Reminds me of "Casablanca" when the French out-sang the Germans with their anthem.

I loved that. Our Hungarian plea was very characteristically tragic, like our anthem. The efforts of the French were brave and gallant, like THEIR anthem. I think a nation’s anthem predestines it to some degree to its national spirit.

they cared pretty much. it was a disastrous defeat against germany.

"hah we don't like your nation so we're going to outplay you with a song"

the unintelligible part is the hungarian language

@@DasArtyom in 1956? no (in '68, yes)

Thats the president Emil Hácha himself

Honestly, it's so sad. It is the voice of president Emil Hácha, who at the time was persuaded to accept the position in the rump second Czechoslovak republic (after Munich) and eventually the protectorate. At the time, he was already quite old and tired and constantly under pressure. He took a bullet for us and sadly to this day, many people just see him as a collaborator and don't bother to look a bit deeper into his life.

failure and psychic destruction...... bohužel nebylo na výběr Anglie a Francie nás odevzdali aby pak zjistili že udělali chybu..

Real government was in exile in UK, but yeah, Emil Hácha was forced to say everything, he even got heart attack during negotiations with nazis in Berlin before actual invasion and after that, he was probably not the same person as before. He died in prison after WWII, but later judge court said that due to his health, he was not responsible for his decisions.

to be fair he was the prime minister, so he probably felt like he failed at his job of protecting his country

​@JackTheMurderer German was the one to rush out before Italy could prepare their military properly.

​@@vacuousbard6410 The Germans also gave no warning to Italy whatsoever. Much of the invasions/wars Germany perpetuated aggravated Italy, including that of the war with the USSR, to which Mussolini has had several commentaries over the war with the Soviets. Some interesting ones and trivia: Upon the declaration of war: "I hope for only one thing...that in this war in the East the Germans lose many feathers. It’s a falsity to talk about an anti-Bolshevik struggle. Hitler knows that Bolshevism has not existed for some time." - Benito Mussolini, 1941 He would constantly push Hitler to make peace with the Russians, to the point that before his arrest in 1943, he was planning on sending the Germans an ultimatum; Peace with Russia or Italy leaves the conflict. "The Germans have never grasped the importance of the Mediterranean, never... they maintained and still maintain that Russia is a deadly peril to Western and European civilization. I tried to convince Hitler that this was a meaningless phrase... Stalin has killed Bolshevism... in contrast to Trotsky, he has completely renounced world revolution." - Benito Mussolini, 1943 Overall, Italy was not ready at all for the war as during the 30s, they were still in the process of demilitarizing the industry from the legacy government and WW1. Only by 42, did they manage to start getting remotely developed but overarchingly, their airforce was the main thing going for them to compete with the other nations of Europe.

well in the end, it still allowed a lot of hungarians to flee to austria and from there escape from the communist dictatorship afaik, but the that was it because the world didn't want to anger the soviet union. It really sounds similar to what happened with the spanish civil war tbf.

Without Russia, today's life would've been so much worse, as you're probably not aware of how many inventions the Russians blessed us with.

It's probably because the German regime was collapsing by the end of the war with Hitler dead and most high-ranking Nazis surrendering, while the Japanese regime only surrendered due to Hirohito breaking the tie and requesting a surrender.

The marching sounds before the Dutch anthem played were Japanese soldiers entering the NIROM radio station, in the same room where the announcer was making the final broadcast.

A side effect of literal translating. It may very well be "while sleeping" but in the original language context makes it understood to mean "without knowledge."

And your wonderful prime minister is now collaborating with effectively the same country that inflicted that to you back in 1956, ruled by someone who was very much loyal to the same regime.

私は日本人です。確かにこの放送の大部分で話されている日本語は非常に難解であり、細部までを理解するのには古語の知識が必須です。しかし、冒頭の「米英中ソに共同宣言を受諾する旨通告した」や中盤の「戦局必ずしも好転せず」などといった文言は現代日本においても通じる比較的庶民的な言い回しです。ラジオがあった家庭においてはこの旨を理解した一般人も一定数いたと思われます。また、この放送を理解できなかった一般人にも、天皇に絶対忠誠を誓う軍人や警察などにより日本の一般市民へ明確に終戦が伝えられ、その結果多くの市民と軍人は天皇に従い、敗戦という現実に向き合いました。一部の軍部が終戦の決定に反発しクーデター未遂を起こしたものの、天皇が決断し国民に発信した降伏そのものが比較的平和にアメリカの占領統治を受け入れることができたのだと思います。

That being said, the Chinese can understand it easily for ancient Japanese essentially took all its words from Chinese.

@@vincilo8835 Not really unless you take Chinese literature. Reading 古話 is really like reading a foreign language even though you kind of know what the words mean. Even those of us who speak other Chinese languages which retain older forms of expression and are closer to “old Chinese” like Cantonese may find it difficult to read since most of the time, unless it’s Mandarin, we just speak the word without knowing how it’s actually written.

@@vincilo8835not really, unless it was a telegraph transmission that was written down and you know classical chinese (back then not many people did)

@@vincilo8835 No one in China who has lived in the last 1000 years would understand a word of this speech without first knowing Japanese. The pronunciation of the ideograms in the on'yomi reading come from the Han, Tang and Song dynasties and there are components that are natively Japanese and alien to the Chinese languages, which are the particles, not to mention the various natively Japanese words (for example the second one, "fukaku"). What makes the text difficult for Japanese to understand are some unusual words, but the main information, the surrender of the war, is easily understood and conveyed to everyone at the time.

I wonder what would happen if not all troops surrender and did guerilla warfare, but probably the decision allowed a slim chance for survival to be able to fight another day
