SH3 Commander\Date\19390903\data\Sound\Gramophone

What I will get then is that file being played just for that day? Or will it just be loaded once that day is hit and then be available from then on? (Meaning I would have to remove it once that date has passed?)
SH3 doesn't have the ability to play files at specific dates or times. SH3Cmdr overcomes this somewhat by copying files into the game based on the next patrol start date. But, this means:
-All files up to and including the next patrol start date are copied across;
-The copied files will play throughout the duration of the patrol.
-The files will be continually copied into SH3 until new versions with the same file names are found (then they will be copied into SH3).

So, using your example, if you add the files under 19390903, they won't actually appear in the game until the *2nd* patrol (which could be in October), as the first patrol will, by default, start on 1 Sep '39 and the speech wouldn't have been made yet.
