Über diesen Titel

 "Forth for the Fifth" is a mishearing of "Four for the Fifth," a series of World War II radio programs that were part of the Fifth War Loan Drive in 1944.

The shows were produced by the U.S. Treasury Department to boost national morale and sell war bonds to help fund the war effort.

The title "Four for the Fifth" referred to the four radio shows produced to support the fifth war loan drive, which began on June 12, 1944, just six days after the D-Day landing.

The episodes were written by notable radio dramatists Arch Oboler and William Robson.

Four for the Fifth was produced by the US Treasury and written by Arch Oboler and William Robson. The title comes from the four radio shows for the fifth war loan drive which began June 12, 1944 just six days after the D-Day landing at Normandy. The goal was set to $16 Billion.These programs, produced during WWII, presented dramas to boost the morale of a nation and draw forth into homes the stories that few may have known about. 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 Politik & Regierungen Sozialwissenschaften Welt
