Summary[edit]

Description These words, spoken by WIlliam Harlan Hale, were the foundation for the Voice of America. This broadcast, in German, was spearheaded by a small group of German-speaking journalists just 56 days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Among other pioneer VOA German service announcers was Robert Bauer (shown in photo), who in 1944 announced the Normandy invasion. Prior its first broadcast, President Roosevelt established the U.S. Foreign Information Service (FIS) on July 14, 1941. The Voice of America became part of the FIS the following year. The Amoy, Cantonese, Portuguese-to-Latin America, Spanish-to-Latin America, Tagalog, and Mandarin services became a part of VOA shortly after its foundation. VOA continues to broadcast in Cantonese, Mandarin, and Spanish-to-Latin America today.
