We Came This Way — 1944
13 episodes broadcast in 1944.
Marking the fourth anniversary of Greece's entry into the war, the series told the story of Andreas in a special broadcast mounted jointly from New York and Los Angeles with the Greek War Relief Association, and staffed with screen names for the occasion.
The life of Joan of Arc, framed as a story recounted by an American G.I. -- a wartime soldier reaching back five centuries for a fellow fighter.
Freedom of thought under the sixteenth-century reign of Maximilian, and the price men paid to hold on to it -- a parallel the broadcast drew deliberately to the Europe of 1944.
The road from the France of Louis XIV to the Revolution. The announcer called it the fourteenth program of the series, apparently one ahead of the true count.
