RARE VINTAGE WEEGEE-ESQUE: Journalist Eric Sevareid News Photo World War II8 x 10 news photo by famous 20th century broadcast journalist Eric Sevareid. Shows a US Army Soldier broadcasting on CBS Special War Games; circa 1941 with Sevareid noted verso.Joining CBS Radio as a protege of noted journalist Edward R. Morrow, Eric Sevareid (1912-1992) was the last U.S. correspondent to broadcast from Paris, France, before that country fell to the Nazi invasion in June 1940, near the start of World War II. He went on to a long career as a radio and television news broadcaster, writer, and commentator. Journalist Eric Sevareid understood the average American, and Americans learned about the Spanish Civil War, World War II, the Korean conflict, and the Vietnam War through his reporting. A self-proclaimed sentimental lover of the English language, he was given to drawn-out discussions rife with sophisticated vocabulary.Arnold Eric Sevareid(November 26, 1912 – July 9, 1992) was an American author andCBSnews journalist from 1939 to 1977. He was one of a group of elite war correspondents hired by pioneering CBS newsmanEdward R. Murrow, and thus dubbed \"Murrow\'s Boys\". He was the first to report the fall of Paris when it was captured by the Germans during World War II. Traveling into Burma during World War II, his aircraft was shot down and he was rescued from behind enemy lines by asearch and rescue teamestablished for that purpose. He was the final journalist to interviewAdlai Stevensonbefore his death. After a long and distinguished career, he followed in Murrow\'s footsteps as a commentator on theCBS Evening Newsfor 12 years for which he was recognized with Emmy and Peabody Awards.Commander Richard Jennings, who has died aged 98, directed the guns of the cruiser HMS Exeter until they were silenced by the superior firepower of the German pocket battleship Admiral Graf Spee at the battle of the River Plate in December 1939. Adolf Hitler\'s navy used its small, but modern and deadly, surface fleet against British shipping, vulnerable worldwide, in a series of hit and run raids that soon overstretched the much larger Royal Navy at the beginning of the second world war.No fewer than eight groups of major warships had to be deployed around the Atlantic to counter a handful of powerful raiders, any one or more of which might have struck anywhere at any time. They included three pocket battleships so fast and well-armed that only three British warships were capable of both outrunning and outgunning them.(#2534m)
