Ed Murrow became a national celebrity while still in his twenties, gaining a reputation as a first class broadcaster. His reports from Vienna during the Anschluss were the first to bring the horrors of the Nazi party to the attention of the American public. During the war years his finest broadcasts were made during the height of the blitz on London. He also accompanied bombing raids over Berlin and broadcast a harrowing report on the liberation of Buchenwald.
