Soldiers of the Press was a 15-minute syndicated program that aired during the greater part of the USA's time in World War II, starting in February 1943 and lasting 'til August 1945. The series features dramatized accounts of events witnessed by journalists that had something to do with the conflict.
Apparently all of the journalists "heard" on the series were actually professional actors. Although the journalists responsible for the news stories were given credit for their work, it seems none of them appeared as themselves in the dramas. Which is fair enough, since journalists aren't professional actors. It is a bit of a missed opportunity in some cases, as the journalists covered included names like Walter Cronkite. The actual performers aren't credited but I swear I heard voices like Bill Johnstone and Raymond Massey.
The stories recounted on Soldiers of the Press give one a pretty good view of the different locales and theaters of operations during the war; some are recounted from the perspectives of journalists who were overseas when the US entered the war and how they suffered in internment camps. There are naval operations, aerial operations and more. It's bit jingoistic, but what would you expect from a wartime program?
