Die Library of Congress berichtet unter dem Titel «A Soundtrack of World War II» über Tonaufnahmen des zweiten Weltkriegs, die bis jetzt aber noch nicht online abrufbar sind, wie in den Kommentaren zu lesen ist:
«On Okinawa, Marines chat about the weather as machine-gun rounds zip overhead. On Iwo Jima, tanks clank ashore under heavy fire. In Nagasaki, an American general instructs Japanese officers to honor the terms of surrender.
These are the sounds of the Marine Corps at war, preserved in thousands of hours of recordings made on battlefields of the Pacific Theater during World War II, then stored away for decades. In recent years, the Library has given them new, digital life and made them accessible in its Recorded Sound Research Center.»
