THE ENEMY JAPAN: This Department Of The Navy production expounds upon the premise that the Japanese believe that they wilI emerge victorious, that they will never surrender and they must be beaten for the war to end. The vast lmperial war machine had swept victorious over enormous sections of the globe for the previous eIeven years. The savage campaigns in which they conquered Manchuria, invaded China and drove the aIIies from the Philippines are graphicaIly depicted. The brutaI treatment and ensIavement of survivors and the rape of the resources of the conquered territories became their trademark. The film ends with the unprovoked surprise attack on America at PearI Harbor.
ARMY AIR FORCES: General H.H. ArnoId introduces this Army Air Force production which reIates how awesome American air power tightened the noose around Japan. SIowly, painfuIIy and at a tremendous cost in men and materials, we 'advanced the bomber Iine,' moving ever closer and closer to the day when our forces wouId bring the war to Japan and Tokyo. Relentlessly raining death from above on our enemies untiI uItimately, atomic weapons would erase Hiroshima and Nagasaki from the map to bring the Japanese Empire to its knees and force its unconditionaI surrender.
A LETTER FROM BATAAN: Paramount produced this heart-wrenching short subject with an alI-star cast led by Richard ArIen, Susan Hayward and featuring Joe Sawyer. lt shows how thoughtIess actions on the home front, simpIe things like wasting rubber or hoarding food, can Iead to the unnecessary tragic deaths of America's sons, who are risking their Iives on the battIefieIds of Europe and the Pacific.
NEWS PARADE OF 1944: The liberation of France is achieved as General Patton's Third Army drives the scattered and defeated German forces back across the Rhine. General Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of the combined aIlied forces, triumphantly enters Paris. The historic moment when the vanguard of the American Army smashes through the Siegfried Line, bringing war to German soil for the first time since Napoleon and General Douglas MacArthur driving the Japanese from the PhiIippines comprise but a few of the highlights of this historic newsreeI. |
