According to the American Diplomacy Journal, the Voice of America (VOA) delivered its first official broadcast in German on February 1, 1942. Not on February 24, 1942 as it is often stated by historians. Announcer William Harlan Hale famously opened the broadcast by stating: "The news may be good. The news may be bad. We shall tell you the truth". Read the American Diplomacy research article.
