We all th ink we know the full history of America's involvement in World War II, but the truth is far more covert and not so easily ascertained. In fact, the government produced thousands upon thousands of informational motion pictures about the conflict, that covered everything from theaters of operation in battle to the discussion of new military equipment and its proper use. For decades, these films remained out of the reach of the common man - until the Freedom of Information Act made them publicly accessible for the first time. This unique, epic-length box set contains dozens of the said films. Contents include R.A.F. Sinks Tirpitz, School for Jungle Life, Naval Battles of the Philippines, Ormoc Landings and much more.
