The Pacific Story
The Chinese Puppet Government
by
The Pacific Story is a documentary radio series about the people, places, and events shaping the Pacific during World War II. Its episodes bring listeners into the region’s wartime history, presenting subjects through a radio narrative rather than a fictional adventure.
This recording is titled “The Chinese Puppet Government” and is dated June 25, 1944. The subject points to the political realities of wartime China, where Japanese occupation and the establishment of a rival government formed part of the wider conflict. The program offers a historical perspective on the Pacific theater and the forces affecting its populations.
The series’ appeal lies in its focused, informative treatment of current wartime issues and regional history. Its documentary approach makes this episode a window onto how the Pacific conflict was explained to radio audiences while the war was still underway.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
