This is a contemporary WWII-era home recordings of a live radio broadcast. It's from a batch of 40 twelve-inch plastic-on-aluminum "Audiodisc" home recording disks that were salvaged from a garage, still packed in their original wooden crates. These recordings often start and stop abruptly and contain some noise and static, but with digital cleanup most are quite listenable. The only information about these recordings is the brief handwritten descriptions on the labels, so sometimes the content is a bit mysterious.

14 August 1945, 6:30 pm, ABC radio News Broadcast on the announcement of the acceptance of surrender terms by Japan and related news details.
