Samples

Anthem contains a collage of samples from WW2 Radio Broadcasts and recordings. These included

BBC's Richard Dimbleby's harrowing recorded impressions from when he visited the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp:

"Over an acre of ground lay dead and dying people."

Also a sample of Italian fascist propaganda mottos:

"Tempi migliori!" (Better times ahead!)

A sentence from British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's September 3rd 1939 declaration of war against Germany broadcast by BBC:

"this country is at war"

Excerpts from Winston Churchill's VE day speeches.

After Fire has samples taken from the movie Universal Soldier:

"Move in and secure the objective."
"It's the only way to win this fucking war."
"I'm gonna teach you the chain of command private!"
"They just killed another hostage."
"We have a mission to complete."
"I'm giving the orders from now on."
"Put the gun down!"
"Say goodnight, asshole."
"I think we should shoot her, in the head!"
"Got you now, boy."
"I'm looking for a deserter!"

And from the 1956 science fiction film Forbidden Planet:

"How soon will radar be operational?"
"Operating right now, sir."
"Good. Keep on it yourself."
"Aye, aye, sir."
"The M.A. alert is completed?"
"Aye, aye, sir."
"Fine. Activate-" (cut off, the full line is "activate main batteries")

Requiem QCN also features samples from Forbidden Planet:

"Shall I shut down the current, sir?"
"No. It's stopped now. Check over the whole system in the morning."
"Aye, sir."

Outremer also features samples from Universal Soldier:

"You must follow orders at all times."
"Cease fire, cease fire!"
"Begin phase two."
