This is fascinating stuff. But, I think there might be some confusion, here. The radio anouncer says that this recording was made in the early stages of the invasion. But the reporter on the scene clearly states "Late in the night of June 6th." He later states that it was now after midnight on the morning of June 7th. And the two fighters that made the first air attack on the invasion were FW-190's. Ace, "Pips" Priller and is wingman made a single pass over the beach. Later in the day, the Luftwaffe arrived on the scene and there were many air attacks that evening. A Mustang squadron even ran into a dozen Stukas! I needn't tell you the results.
"From our orbital vantage point, we observe an earth without borders, full of peace, beauty and magnificence, and we pray that humanity as a whole can imagine a borderless world as we see it, and strive to live as one in peace."
