These radio plays were re-created of random themes and varying perspectives...but always with a message.Their popularity could not be denied and were portrayed by the popular actors of the day. The overriding message of the plays was the discussion of the economics of the war. Here is a look at a couple of the programs.Copyright World War Two History Radio
