Murrow was quite a journalist, and did a great job with that report. I stopped by your website--very nice. Good to know where I can go for the old radio shows. Thanks!

I think Murrow did indeed see the bombers, on one of which he rode, as creating a purifying effect over Berlin, which he did indeed see as a hell where the devil (Hitler) resided. The light was both that from the spots attempting to highlight the planes for destruction (Murrow spends some time on these lights) and from the incendiaries the bombers were dropping on the city. This back and forth of light, flame, and ground fire all created this "terrible symphony." I have to tend to agree with your analysis.
