You may find an archival SW broadcast from that time, but the only
"common man" recorders of that era were wire recorders, and you might
look a l-o-o-o-n-g time to find an accesible library of wire recordings.

But the "war broadcasts" made on SW were repeated in transcribed form
(usually shellac disc) on the AM broadcast networks later in the
evening, and there are lots of recordings of those. Countless people
clustered around their radio console (they all had SW in those days) to
hear Edward R. Murrow during the war.
They could hear him over the networks at typical "late evening news"
times every night, but they could hear the same broadcast hours earlier
in the day via the BBC on shortwave. But it was the same broadcast.

You may even find a recording of "The Voice of Doom" from WW2 )
