Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. VICTORIES IN FRANCE: The magnitude of the destruction which is being vent on the Nazis in France is brought home by these pictures. Long roadsides look like junk yards, completely littered with wrecked German equipment, remnants of the famous Panzer divisions.—Nazi corpses are strewn about, Nazi wounded are treated. Then we see part of the ever-growing march of tens of thousands of demobilized Nazi fighting men, marching to the rear, as prisoners. 2. DUMBARTON OAKS PARLEY: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Diplomatic missions, representing the U.S.A., Great Britain and the U.S.S.R., convene in parley to preserve the approaching peace and the Four Freedoms. 3.

NAVY M.D.'S AT GUAM: Women and children of the Chamorros and other natives, freed from Jap subjugation, are treated by U.S. Navy doctors.
