Romania Knocked Out (Universal Newsreel, Sep 1944)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1A/B. ROMANIA KNOCKED OUT: Russian armies storm into Romania in dynamic offensives which quickly force this Balkan state to capitulate . . . and join the Allies. / NAZIS IN MOSCOW: Fifty-seven thousand Nazis march through the streets of Moscow, on their way to Russian prison camps. And the local department of Sanitation cleans up after them. 2. GAYETY RETURNS TO PARIS: As food supplies pour in, the people become gay once more. Branded women (ex-friends of the Nazis) are held up for public scorn and ridicule.—Models parade the boulevards, displaying their Victory fashions and their ever present charm. Then they join G.I. Joes at the crowded sidewalk cafes. 3. QUEBEC CONFERENCE: The principals in this historic conference sit in informal portrait, as do their ladies. And not to be outdone, Falla, the White House pet, has his moment too. 4. COMICAL MAGIC: SEATTLE, WA - Local magicians entertain the wounded at the U.S. Naval Hospital as they produce rabbits out of hats and produce whole neckties from scissored cravats. 5A/B. WITH THE ADVANCING YANKS: General Patton, the dashing warrior, uses his jeep from which to launch another lightning, slashing attack. His tanks are used as artillery, their fire being directed by walky-talky.—A Nazi ammunition dump is hit, and as the advance continues, dead Nazis are scattered everywhere and thousands of dejected Hitlerites are captured. / LIBERATION OF BELGIUM: British divisions race across Belgium's borders, preceded by their armor. Nazi equipment lies burning by the roadside, and Nazi prisoners are shielded from the irate natives.—A huge sign in Brussels states, "Welcome to the Liberators." Then the people of Brussels go all out in their demonstration of joy, at being delivered of the Nazi yoke. All things German, including a swastika flag, are burned.
