Was Mark Clark demoted to NCO for his less than overwhelming record ?
Who is the narrator of these original films? He sounds familiar for a lot of other old short informational films.
The narrators of almost all such news films sound very much alike from the period of around 1933 to 1960.
This was because of standards in voice-"Acting" that stressed a specific intonation and cadence which could be understood by all audiences.
As WWII approached, we also saw the stress of what became known as the "Mid-Atlantic Accent" (think Dr. Smith in the original Lost-in-Space). The Mid-Atlantic Accent became the standard for Radio and TV announcers, especially for commercials.
Miri is not in Northwest Borneo.Its in Northern Borneo.
Little unsung details such as the "how to spread leaflets" , yum-yum , delightful for the US army daily life enthusiast.
Is that how you are going to catch yourself showering at night on tv ?
God...the devastation.
Seventeen years later a young, inexperienced rock band from Liverpool would earn their chops in Hamburg, compare the state of the two post war cities and wonder who actually won the war. Seems Hamburg cleaned up better.
Great experiment
14:35 Holy crap.
Poor chicken
I'm trying to figure out how you can license something the tax payer payed for.
The restore and preserve these films and you should be grateful that they do so. But you're more than welcome to go find another copy if you want to.
@@southjerseysound7340 if i restore an original 1977 laserdisc copy of star wars it doesn't automatically make it my property.... not how it works.
@@ChristopherGray00 like I said before you are more than welcome to go find your own copy to restore and use.
@@southjerseysound7340 yes that is not the same as reselling a product and trying to license it though, that is not how copyright law works at all, you are not allowed to sell "restored" footage of property that is not yours.
unreal. Propaganda?
How do you mean?
This was from ww2
These Command Bulletins were not shown to the public. They were made for the brass back at the Pentagon to view what was happening on the front lines. So, not propaganda.
