Description
The original release sheet reads: 1. WAR TALKS END: The momentous Ottawa conferences are brought to a stirring close as President Roosevelt advises the Fuehrer to surrender now or face the calamitous ruin which has just been planned for him. 2. SANDRINGHAM FARMS: King George sets a royal example for his Empire as he converts his beautiful floral gardens at Sandringham Palace to British Victory Gardens. 3. CAPTURE OF MUNDA: The tropical campaign directed at Munda comes to a successful conclusion for the battle-seasoned Yanks. The yard by yard nature of the advance is observed as the tricky Jap resistance is rolled back. 4. ATTU HEROES: American hero dead are fittingly honored by their comrades as services are held in the military cemetery in this Arctic outpost. 5. NUMBER 50,000: At an East Coast tank depot, where armored units are assembled for battle action, prior to being shipped abroad, the 50,000th war vehicle is sent on its way. 6. BOMBS ROCK EUROPE: Allied bombers roam the length and breadth of a war-sickened Italy, as huge air fleets roar out of England to spread their ruin in occupied France. The devastating action of "earth waves" (bomb concussions) is clearly observed.
