Here are a few from my archive of radio broadcasts.

MBS, May 8th 1945, Gabriel Heatter: http://radiorestorer.com/5-8-45MBSGabriel%20Heatter.mp3

NBC - President Truman Proclaims Victory: http://radiorestorer.com/5-8-45-truman.mp3

Can many people on these forums remember this day? Would be interesting to hear your stories.
