The Homefront 1944 to 1945 - Volume 3
Volume 3 of a 3 Part VHS Series released by Reader's Digest in 1989.
America: The Way We Were
The Home Front
1944 to 1945
Volume Three
From the box: “The tide has turned. Postwar hopes and dreams fill American hearts and minds. But radio broadcasts and newsreels remind Americans that the fighting and dying continue. Never before has a war been captured so completely by the motion picture camera.
On the home front, President Roosevelt is reelected by a landslide; the worst circus disaster in history occurs in Hartford, Connecticut; an Army B-52 bomber crashes into the Empire State Building; the United Nations charter is drafted; and because of a newspaper strike, New York City’s mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, reads the comics over the radio. Also share fascinating moments with Ronald Reagan, Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Joe Louis, Army veteran Hank Greenberg, and the West Point “Touchdown Twins,” Glenn Davis, and Doc Blanchard.
But the slogan “V for Victory” is on everyone’s mind as V-E Day and V-J Day approach. The joyous sights and sounds of V-J Day, a once-in-a-lifetime event, remain as moving today as they were in that not-so-far-away year, 1945.”

Get it right: Truman's middle name was simply "S"; there is no "S."
VHS 📼📼📼📼 is the best version of entertainment.
Good 👍 ol days 😎🆒
It's so ❤️💜 nice 💯.
Do you remember?
We like sweaters 🤩 too 🤩
The British and US ❤️💜 are great 👍.
27:43 Here is a lesson on how a decent man takes losing an election.
Awesome ❤❤❤
I never regretted having a portrait of Mr. Truman framed on my wall
Churchill was an idiot to speak ill of Mr. Truman that way
The American Japanese internment camps will forever be a stain on the fabric of America. Neighbors then stealing their belongings is so outrageous and sad. What’s the matter with people ?! Some things never seem to change. Today would be same.
My late husband was born on DDay 1949. We always had a Patriotic Party on that day. This year 2024,is the 80th Anniversary of D Day. Please won't you join me and Honor the thousands who lost their lives that Day to turn the tide against Hitlers Germany and led to the end of the War 80 years ago? This country and Europe plan many Celebrations in Remembrance of this Campaign. We must Never forget the sacrifices our American and Allied Forces Sacrificed for our Freedom and American Democracy. God Bless America!♥️🤍💙🇺🇲🙏✌️
Pray the United States has great Presidents always in Jesus Name

WTF is the narrator's problem with pronouncing Stalin? Beyond annoying!!
Harry Truman is not a great president. If General MacArthur had been allowed to carry out the war as he had planned, The world would not be in a crisis like today.
“The heroes of a nation, are the terrorists of its opponent.”
The “good for nothing fellow” who planned everything was a nominee to the Supreme Court of the USA and also helped Ireland write the constitution, had a Master’s Degree on military science and organic chemistry, among other degrees. Also, spoke 5 to 6 languages, and graduated from the University of Harvard with honors. Pedro Albizu Campos was his name, search him and find out what was done to him for fighting for independence in Puerto Rico.

What happened?? December 7th isn't the last day of the year! Four days after Pearl Harbor Hitler declared war on America! We had entered into a two front war called World War Two. This film was a messed up representation of those two years anyway. It just felt too happy and joyous. It took several more years and a terrible war to really fix the economy. This film was just made for old-timers to walk down Memory Lane.
You forgot to show the Women’s Professional Baseball League!!! Come on! They had some great players!
The GI bill was one of the very best Social Program of many great Social programs that FDR got passed! And to think that so many politicians were against his policies to help the people! Our taxes go to the government and we should get our return. Thanks to FDR, I’m now able to get Social Security that helps me get by in retirement!
He was a 1st Lieutenant during WW1 deep in the shit in the trenches. Of course he had a hard-on to nuke the enemy rather than go over the top.
He was a Captain actually 😂
35:00 When recycling was a fun activity!
Did you take the little bus to school?
@@davidmitchell6873 Don't have time for your wisenheimer jokes pal.
Well, you responded so I guess you do have time. Git er done Festus.
Niagara Falls froze in the winter of 42 and nobody screamed CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!¡
Me and yo grandma was having a ball back in 42.
🙄
Not much into Science, eh?
Because it has happened quite a few times. “The great Niagara Falls has frozen a few times in the past. Let's see - 1848, 1911, 1912, 1917, 2014, 2015 and again in 2022. The Falls partially freeze during most of the winter seasons, however, they no longer completely freeze especially to a level that interrupts the flow of the gushing water.” So, not really a change. I think we’d be more worried if it didn’t freeze over
Wasn't being studied then......
Dad was born in 38 and Mom in 40. Mom is still with us.
O I remember that day I was a boycott back then done a lots of work 😊
Great Documentary thanks for sharing this it was back when I was a child in 1942
Now Americans are fat and lazy and are drug addicted And homeless
"MBS" was the Mutual Broadcasting System, a now-defunct radio network.
Very nice
February 23 1942 Japanese submarine sack Ellwood oil field Santa Barbara 2 days after the battle of Los Angeles took place.
4th most influential man of 20th century after Lenin, Stalin and Hitler.
Here in 2023 I've often thought of these times, the sense of community as it points out, knowing that would not be possible today in this climate of hate, distrust and out and out insanity never thought possible.
His daughter had ambitions to be a singer with mediocre talent and she got a bad review Truman wrote a personal note to the reviewer that was angry and crude. When asked about it, Margaret said it must not be true, because her father would never use language like that.
Posterity will curse the generations alive today who so blithely, so weakly and self centered-without care or empathy, let our republic morph into mc’merica. Land of the disposable, the medicated and apathetic.
No mention of Truman’s last minute change of mind concerning the UN vote in 1947?This decision went against the State Dept and virtually all his administration and gave US support to Israel becoming a country (again) and fulfillment of the incredible biblical prophecy of Ezekiel 37. Otherwise an excellent summation!
Dropped the bomb on Japan 2x 👎👎 truly crazy sob
Your father on one of the landing crafts headed to invade? There was nothing different about the number of casualties that day. A lot of kids holding bamboo spears were expected to die for Japan.
Name one country fighting the war in 1945 who would not have used an atomic bomb.
88% of population were White European... America at it's best!
true love for Truman
Truman is the most underrated president and world leader of the 20th century. A humble and happy go lucky man from Missouri, finalized WW2, saved Western Europe (Marshal Plan), contained the spread of communism, saved South Korea, recognized the founding of the state of Israel, and laid the foundations for American foreign policy that affect it to this day…and his mother in law STILL didn’t think he was good enough for his daughter.
4th most influential man of 20th century after Lenin, Stalin and Hitler.
There is nothing to admire about this incompetent General (Macarthur). He should stay with his troops. Coming from a former Marine.
Right from the beginning we see FDR, who knew the Japanese were coming for 3 months and needed WWII to get the economy. We then see Ronald Reagan, the greatest president in US history!!!
Keep sniffing Jim Jordan's dirty socks. FDR was not privy to Japanese codes either naval or diplomatic which were only deciphered in small parts.
