PREFACE

We live in an age of expanding media education, where television, film, and computer imagery routinely record historical events. Every day, newscasters describe wars, assassinations, economic developments, and political events from around the world. Additionally, numerous educational programs and television specials, often designed in part for entertainment, bring bits and pieces of history into our living rooms. Because of the recent boom in the home video market, the availability and variety of these audiovisual support materials has never been greater. One 1985-86 directory lists over 4,500 commercial firms that produce or distribute some type of audiovisual product. This growing body of audiovisual materials constitutes a unique and significant source of military history documentation.
The Combat Studies Institute developed this bibliography of historical films, videotapes, motion pictures, and related audiovisual aids to support the TRADOC Military History Education Program, Instructors at the ROTC and branch service schools have indicated a growing interest and need to use audiovisual materials to enhance their military history classes. Unfortunately, most instructors do not have ready access to the rapidly expanding lists of available materials. This index attempts to overcome part of that problem by bringing together selected government and commercially produced materials in an easy-to-use format. However, this bibliography, which relies heavily on the Department of Defense Audiovisual Information System, lists only a small part of the available commercial materials.


Several words of caution are necessary when considering the commercial films identified in this listing:
  • Like all commercial products, films cost money. Rental prices range from $50 to $100 for a three- to five-day period, and purchase costs can be several hundred dollars. Your local funds must be used to procure these items.
  • Your local training and audiovisual support center (TASC) is the governing agency for the procurement of all films, commercial or government produced. Specific procedures have been established to govern film procurement, and the TASC is your point of contact.
  • One valuable source for films that is often overlooked is local university or college libraries. Many film rental libraries have been established across the country that rent video tapes and 16-mm films at reasonable rates. But remember: the TASC must be involved in the procurement of all films, so check with them first before ordering.
  • The fact that a film is listed in this bibliography does not mean that you can get it overnight. Plan as far ahead as possible, and give the TASC as much lead time as you can. If a film is already in the TASC system, it is either on hand at your local TASC or will be available from Tobyhanna Depot within two to three weeks. If it is not in the TASC system, it could be six months or longer before the film can be obtained. So plan accordingly.


    CHAPTER ONE

    Introduction


    1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

    This bibliography is a listing of selected, unclassified government and commercially produced motion picture films, videotapes, and related audiovisual materials that support the teaching of American military history. It is designed to serve as a resource tool to assist instructors within the TRADOC Military History Education Program.

    2. WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS.

    The listing of commercial suppliers does not constitute an endorsement of those companies by the U.S. Army. It simply means that those companies have been identified as sources for particular films. There may be other companies that provide the same materials. Funding for rental or purchase of those films is up to the individual user. Companies that handle appropriate items, but are not identified in this bibliography, may submit their listings to this office for possible inclusion in future published updates (see Submission of Comments, paragraph 8). Many of the films selected from the TASC system will enhance classroom instruction, but they are outdated in terms of current doctrine. Note: Before all showings, the audience should be advised that these films are historical documents and are not intended to reflect current doctrine, policies, or plans.

    3. ORGANIZATION OF THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY.
      a. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction, with the remaining ten sections devoted to film listings. Major historical topics and time periods dealing with the U.S. Army have been broken down into separate section headings, e.g., Commanders-Personalities, American Revolution, etc. Within each chapter, such subtopics as technology, tactics, or theaters of operation have been identified where appropriate, Individual films are then listed alphabetically by title or chronologically (for convenience). In a few cases, a film category (e.g., combat bulletins) has been designated as an appropriate subtopic, with films listed in numerical sequence.

      b. Listing Format. TITLE- The American Soldier in Combat.

    4. TIPS FOR THE INSTRUCTOR.

    a. Use and Misuse of Audiovisual Materials. The proper use of audiovisual support materials can greatly enhance classroom military history instruction. Seeing and hearing history as it happened (or is re-created) can often provide the stimuli that excites students to seek the lessons of history. But at the same time, audiovisual materials can become a crutch that detracts from effective teaching and learning. When films are readily available and class planning time is limited, the practice by instructors of showing films to take up extra time can develop. In many cases, these films have not been previewed, have little to do with the actual topics to be covered, and often bore the students. The following tips may assist an instructor in ensuring effective use of films:

      (1) Order films well in advance of the projected showing dates.

      (2) Preview materials prior to class use to ensure that they are appropriate.

      (3) Provide appropriate introductory remarks to prepare the students for the highlights of films.

    b. TASC. Your best single source for audiovisual materials is your local TASC. In addition to stocking a large selection of materials and procuring commercial films, the TASC also provides the following services:
      (1) Advisory services in the programming, selection, and proper use of audiovisual materials for instruction.
      (2) Loans of projection or viewing equipment.
      (3) Training and licensing of projectionists used by units.
    c. Copyright. As an instructor, be aware that some of the material you may want to use is copyrighted. Check with your local TASC for guidance.

    5. HOW TO ORDER.

    Check with your TASC to order any items listed in this bibliography. Be sure to provide the title, distributor code, film code-catalog number, and SAVPIN number (standard audiovisual production identification number) for each order. Remember, if the item is not in the TASC system, your local funds must be used for procurement.

      Part 11. Breechloader vs. Muzzleloader. (11 min.) Early breechloaders are discussed in this videotape, and the question is resolved as to why they were not in general use in the Civil War. Coverage of one breechloading system (Allin, in U.S. Models 1866, 1868, and 1873) is described, and it is compared to a rifled musket. The "Wagon Box Fight" is used as an example. D-1: TVT 21-87. (SAVPIN 705970).

      Part 12. Custer's Last Stand. (15 min.) The myth of the Winchester lever-action rifle is destroyed in this film.

    h. The Speeches of FDR. (B&W;/16-mm/1982) Shown in this film are a series of three speeches by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. They include a State of the Union Message, 6 January 1942; an address at Chautauqua, New York, 14 August 1936; and a Navy and Total Defense Day address, 27 October 1941. D-4.
      Part 1. Address at Chautauqua, New York, August 14, 1936. (29 min.) On 14 August 1936 in Chautauqua, New York, President Roosevelt delivered his first address on foreign policy since taking office in 1933. At that time, Hitler and Mussolini were on the march, and the president noted in his address the tendency toward violent and hostile aggression that was growing in the world. He detailed the areas in which the United States had made efforts to promote goodwill and peace, and he reminded his listeners of his inaugural statement about the "good-neighbor policy." D-4.

      Part 2. Navy and Total Defense Day Address, October 27, 1941. This film presents President Franklin Roosevelt's address on Navy and Total Defense Day, which was delivered on 27 October 1941. On 4 September 1941, an American ship had been fired upon by Nazi submarines, causing FDR to order all naval vessels in the North Atlantic to shoot on sight if Nazi naval forces threatened. On 16 October 1941, the U.S.S. Kearney was sailing as a part of a convoy when a German U-boat attacked it. Eleven men on the Kearney were killed, and damage was done to the ship. D-4.

      Part 3. State of the Union Message, January 6, 1942. (42 min.) President Roosevelt delivered this 1942 State of the Union Address to a serious and concerned Congress. Just one month earlier, the United States had been drawn into World War II by the attack on Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt outlined for the American people the steps and the sacrifices the nation must undertake in order to achieve victory. He spoke of the belligerent history of the Axis powers and outlined their conquests during the 1930s. D-4.
    i. The Truman Years. This four-part series presents an invaluable and authentic view of an important era in America's history. Offering rare footage of many prominent figures and historic occasions, the programs examine the policies and precedents of the Truman administration (1945-52) and include direct quotes by President Truman. D-3.
      Part 1. Truman and the Atomic Bomb. (B&W;/TVT/15 min./1969) "I made the only decision I ever knew how to make. I did what I thought was right." With these words, President Truman answered the questions of his fellow Americans and the people of the world after the United States became the only nation in history to make wartime use of the atomic bomb. This program presents the story of his decision. D-3.

      Part 2. Truman and the Cold War. (B&W;/TVT/16 min./1969) "The end of a war-especially a great war-is usually the beginning of trouble." So mused Truman regarding the postwar emergence of the Soviet Union and the United States as the two major global powers. This development produced tensions that rapidly hardened into the cold war. In this videotape, we see the United States rebuilding the West through the Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan, while we view the USSR as it assimilates the eastern European countries, D-3.

      Part 3. Truman and the Korean War. (B&W;/TVT/18 min./1969) When the North Korean Army attacked over the 38th Parallel, Truman induced the Security Council of the UN to vote for intervention. According to Truman, "to allow the Communists the wanton luxury [of the attack] was to invite future takeovers all over the world." In response to the attack, the United States sent troops to a country where a civil war was in progress. Truman acted according to a political philosophy that would later be applied to Vietnam and Cambodia. This program chronicles the famous events. D-3.

      Part 4. Truman and the Uses of Power, (B&W;/TVT/18 min./1969) This videotape portrays how President Truman enlarged the power of the executive branch of the government. It examines his handling of domestic issues-the postwar recession, the coal miners' strike, McCarthyism, and the first legal reforms in civil rights since the Civil War. Truman's direct intervention is seen as characteristic of a forthright President who acted and depended upon his countrymen to follow. D-3.
    j. Twentieth-Century History. (Color/TVT/20 min. each/1981) Designed and produced for classroom use, this fourteen-part series illuminates events and issues that have been crucial in shaping modern world history. Drawing on rare archival footage, animated maps, and contemporary illustrations, the films vividly document actions that have caused reverberations around the world. D-2.
      Part 1. Make Germany Pay. This is a portrait of life in Germany after its defeat in World War I. The armistice agreement and the Treaty of Versailles are seen to have triggered vast anger among the German people, which may have conditioned them for the eventual rise of the Nazis. The film shows the serious financial inflation of the times and the problems caused by French and Belgian occupation of the Ruhr. The program ends as Germany joins the League of Nations in 1926. D-2.

      Part 2. Boom and Bust. Modern consumer society began in the United States in the years following World War I. The effects of the industrial revolution and mass production had reached the common man, while the resulting profits were immense. Unfortunately, this economic boom received a setback from the collapse of the stock market on 24 October 1929. The boom was over, and the Great Depression had begun. This film portrays the succession of significant events. D-2.

      Part 3. Hitler's Germany. Starting as a very small group in the 1920s, and viewed by most as comicopera fanatics, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party managed, through political persuasion and violence against opponents, to take over Germany by 1933. This program covers that period, the subsequent reoccupation of the Rhineland in 1936, the beginning of the persecution of the Jews, and the growth of the Nazi propaganda machine under Joseph Goebbels. D-2.

      Part 4. Roosevelt and the New Deal. The Great Depression in the United States rapidly reached a crisis, and by 1932, 10 million people were out of work, with none of the welfare programs of today to ameliorate conditions. People, were hungry. When Franklin Delano Roosevelt became President in 1933, he began a vast number of programs under the title The New Deal to try to resolve the situation. This film. describes the process and the main aims of the programs that created such profound changes in the United States during those years. D-2.

      Part 5. Why Appeasement? Contemporary newsreel commentaries evoke the mood of the period in 1938 when Hitler demanded a portion of Czechoslovakia and when Great Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain-eager to avoid world wargave him what he wanted. Germany proceeded to absorb all of Czechoslovakia and to invade Poland, which Britain had pledged to defend. Sadly, Chamberlain broadcast to the British people that they were at war with Germany. D-2.

      Part 6. Britain Alone. On 3 September 1939, Great Britain declared war on Germany. The subsequent German victory in western Europe left the British soldiers involved in the defense of France to be rescued from the beach at Dunkirk, thus isolating Britain from the mainland. The Germans then began preparations for the invasion of England. Fortunately, they were unable to destroy the Royal Air Force, and the United States and Russia entered the war. All of these events are chronicled in this program. D-2.

      Part 7. Stalin and the Modernization of Russia. This film follows the ascendancy and important political moves of Stalin. When Lenin died in 1924, a power struggle between Trotsky and Stalin resulted in Trotsky's exile and Stalin's rise to power. Stalin subsequently began five-year plans to modernize Russia, including a massive industrial expansion and the collectivization of Russian agriculture. This film shows Stalin's ruthlessness in dealing with his opposition and his purges, especially of the Red Army. It is seen that these moves weakened the country and made it vulnerable to the Nazis' incursions. D-2.

      Part 8. Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima. A portrait of the economic, political, and military background that led Japan into World War II, this videotape includes a history of the war period and a discussion of the reasons why the United States ultimately dropped atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan is seen as it emerges from feudal isolation, becomes a great aggressive power, and, upon losing the war, redirects itself into industrial technology. D-2.

      Part 9. The Road to Berlin, This is the story of the final four years of World War II, from Germany's first real defeat at Stalingrad, through the Allied invasion of Berlin and the end of the war, The film concludes with the revelation of the greatest horror of the war: the Nazi death camps-where more than 6 million people died. D-2.

      Part 10. India-the Brightest Jewel. In 1947, India was moving toward independence from British rule. The principal leaders of the independence movement-Gandhi, Nehru, and Jinnah-are shown in contemporary film footage, as is the implementation of the concept of passive resistance. The film ends with the partition of the country into India and Moslem Pakistan amid rejoicing, bloodshed, and bitterness. D-2.

      Part 11. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Khrushchev. In the early fifties, Cuba was a military dictatorship led by Fulgencio Batista. In 1956, Fidel Castro overthrew that government. This film documents that period, together with the rise to power of Nikita Khrushchev in the Soviet Union and John Kennedy's election. These last two powerful leaders confronted each other in 1963 over the establishment of Soviet rocket sites in Cuba. D-2.

      Part 12. One Man's Revolution-Mao Tse-tung. Mao Tse-tung became the leader of the world's largest nation after nearly fifty years of war and civil war. He led the Chinese Communist party for forty-two years. This film covers his career: his temporary alliance with Chiang Kai-shek against the warlords, the legendary "long march," the Japanese invasion of China, the Sino-Soviet split, and the "cultural revolution." When Mao died in 1976, China was a nation dominated by his ideas. D-2.

      Part 13. Israel and the Arab States. The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 resulted in an Israeli dispute with the Arabs who had occupied the area that continues to this day. This is a history of that conflict. It includes the rise to power of Nasser in Egypt, the Suez incident, the events leading up to the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War in 1967 and its aftermath, the emergence of the Palestinian guerrillas, and the invasion of Israel by Egypt and Syria in 1973. D-2.

      Part 14. Cold War-Confrontation. This is a videotape study of two issues-the Berlin airlift and the Korean War-which brought confrontation and hostility between communism and the West. At the end of World War II, Germany was divided, leaving its former capital deep in the Soviet area. In 1948, all land transportation to the East was stopped, and all supplies were flown in until the Soviet government relented. At the opposite end of the globe, in Korea, the UN forces kept communism from overrunning South Korea. D-2.

    1. Vietnam: A Television History. (Color/TVT/60 min. each/1983) This thirteen-part series follows events in Vietnam from the 1945 revolution against the French to the U.S. evacuation from Saigon in April 1975. The series places Vietnam in the perspective of history and permits viewers to form their own conclusions about the conflict. D-2.
      Episode 1. The Roots of War. This is a short pictorial history of the century during which France dominated colonial Vietnam. It leads up to the rise of Ho Chi Minh. In the last days of World War II, the tiny country was the scene of chaos, great-power rivalries, and a power vacuum. Ho, flanked by U.S. officers, declared independence in Hanoi, but the British helped the French regain control of Saigon-effectively dividing the country. D-2. (SAVPIN 701775).

      Episode 2. The First Vietnam War, 1946-1954. This film depicts how the Viet Minh, led by Ho Chi Minh, tried to oust the French from the Vietnam peninsula. The United States viewed this attempt, together with the loss of China and the challenges of the Korean War, as part of the cold war. The United States escalated aid to the French, while growing increasingly impatient with them. The French influence in Vietnam ended with their defeat at Dien Bien Phu and the 1954 Geneva Conference that resulted in a cease-fire and the temporary division of the country. D-2. (SAVPIN 701776).

      Episode 3. America's Mandarin, 1954-1963. Covered in episode 3 is the division of Vietnam, an event that caused Catholics and pro-French northerners to flee to the south where Ngo, Dinh Diem had become president (with U.S. support in the form of monetary aid and a few military advisers). In 1960, the National Liberation Front (FLN) appeared as an effort to overthrow the South Vietnamese government. In 1963, with Kennedy as U.S. President, the number of U.S. advisers escalated. Ultimately, Diem was overthrown by political groups of the right, rather than the left. D-2. (SAVPIN 701777).

      Episode 4. LBJ Goes to War, 1964-1965. After Kennedy's assassination in 1963, Lyndon Johnson inherited an unstable coup-prone government in Saigon, as none of Diem's successors was able to control South Vietnam. Depicted in this film is the increasing control of the countryside by FLN guerrillas, as the South Vietnam Army disintegrated. Other events represented are the Tonkin Gulf incident, which was precipitated by raids on North Vietnam, and the Marine landing at Danang. By this time, Johnson had secretly approved open-ended deployment of U.S. troops. D-2. (SAVPIN 701778).

      Episode 5. America Takes Charge, 1965-1967. How did the Viet Minh and the FLN respond to the big American buildup? We see their response, as well as an American soldier's view of this war fought against a seldom-seen enemy. The buzz words of the war-"search and destroy," "body count," "pacification"-are seen as they were implemented in Operation Cedar Falls-an example of a major military operation of the period. D-2. (SAVPIN 701779).

      Episode 6. With America's Enemy, 1954-1967. This is a view of the war as experienced by the followers of Ho Chi Minh and described by their opponents-U.S. soldiers and prisoners of war. We see the effects of Hanoi's growing socialization, the results of U.S. bombing, and the consequences of guerrilla and conventional warfare. Americans analyze the fighting qualities and behavior of their enemy in this film. D-2. (SAVPIN 701780).

      Episode 7. Tet, 1968. One of the big turning points in the Vietnam War came when the Americans learned that instead of winning the war, they were involved in a stalemate. On the Tet holiday, attacks came in areas that the United States had thought to be secure, including Saigon. The defeats caused second thoughts in Washington that eventually resulted in Johnson's decision to call a partial bombing halt and to not run for reelection. Peace talks began, while the war continued. D-2. (SAVPIN 602961).

      Episode 8. Vietnamizing the War, 1969-1973. This film shows how the United States began disengaging itself from the war in Vietnam by training the South Vietnamese Army to fight the battles. The withdrawal of U.S. troops resulted in hardships for the South Vietnamese as the flow of goods and dollars diminished. In the 1972 spring offensive and battle for Quang Tri, nearly all of the allied casualties were Vietnamese. D-2. (SAVPIN 701781).

      Episode 9. No Neutral Ground: Cambodia and Laos. This film portrays how the fate of two of Vietnam's weaker neighbors was also decided as the South disintegrated. The U.S. extension of the war into Laos and Cambodia to stop attacks and supplies from crossing these borders hurt the countries involved more than it hurt the Communists. As an indirect result of the attacks, Prince Sihanouk of Cambodia was overthrown, and he joined the Khmer Rouge. D-2. (SAVPIN 701782).

      Episode 10. "Peace Is at Hand." Richard Nixon promised, if elected, to end the war in Vietnam. This film demonstrates how, from 1968 to 1973, Nixon and Henry Kissinger worked to end the war, hoping for a victory through increased bombing, but wishing to end it in any way necessary. As Vietnamization increased, U.S. ground troops were withdrawn, except for some advisers to the South Vietnamese Army. Prisoners of war were exchanged, and the spirit of detente with Russia and China helped lead to peace. D-2. (SAVPIN 701783).

      Episode 11. Hornefront, U.S.A. The years of heavy U.S. involvement in Vietnam (1965-73) changed America. This film shows that a sizable portion of the public in this country believed our involvement in the Vietnam War was unnecessary. The country became polarized between hawks and doves. This film provides a portrait of the interplay between the reporting of events, public opinion, and policy making. War was certainly no longer a unanimously agreed on endeavor. D-2. (SA VPIN 701784).

      Episode 12. The End of the Tunnel, 1973-1975. With the North Vietnamese spring offensive of 1975, the South Vietnamese Army collapsed. As it fell back to Saigon, we are able to view in this film the memorable exodus of the remaining Americans by helicopter from the roof of the embassy.

    m. War. (C61or/TVT/60 min. each/1985) This videotape was written and hosted by Gwynne Dyer and produced by the National Film Board of Canada. Programs 1-7 of War were filmed over a three-year period in ten countries and on two oceans, with the cooperation of the armed forces of six nations. Program 8 was produced by PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station KCTS, Seattle, and serves as a companion piece to the series. War does not analyze one war, nor all wars, but focuses on the nature, consequences, and future of modern warfare. The series argues that war is not an outlet for natural aggression but an institution invented to settle disputes between nationsan institution that no longer serves its purpose. Its conclusion is that nations must abolish war and find other ways to resolve their differences, because if World War III happens, it will destroy the world. D-2.

Most countries in the world established themselves by means of wars: wars of conquest, wars of independence, and wars of unification.

Every autumn in central Europe, the combined forces of the fifteen member countries of NATO meet to conduct war games-elaborate dress rehearsals for World War III.

D-2.

      Program 7. Goodbye War. For centuries, the international system of states has settled questions of power, territory, national pride, and sovereignty with military force. At any given time, there are about twenty wars being waged, and in all of them, the people involved have a goal to achieve that they believe outweighs the cost of the war, Dyer looks at recent wars, including the confict in the Falkland Islands, to point out that while most wars start over matters of principle, the reality of war has little to do with justice. D-2

      Program 8. The Knife Edge of Deterrence. Produced by KCTS, Seattle, this film contains authoritative points of view concerning the issue of deterrence.

        Biology at War: The Mystery of the Yellow Rain. (Color/TVT/50 min./1984) In 1977, hundreds of Hmong tribesmen swept out of the hills of Laos, bringing horrendous accounts of atrocities against them by a new biological weapon called "yellow rain." Since then, other reports have suggested that the Russians were, indeed, importing deadly fungal toxins into Southeast Asia and spraying them on helpless remote villages. This program pieces together the clues that lead to a quite different explanation involving the bizarre behaviors of Asian honey bees. If the original American allegations had been true, it meant that the Soviets had broken the treaty designed to rid the world of biological warfare. Had that grim spectre risen again? Host Peter Wilson traveled to Thailand, Kampuchea, and Laos to investigate the claims and track the clues to find the true answer. D-2.

        A Higher Form of Killing-Chemical Warfare. (Color/TVT/50 min./1981) In 1915, the Germans launched the first gas attack against the Allies at Ypres.

The middlemen working for Moscow are interviewed in this program and reveal the elaborate smuggling network they use. One of these middlemen featured is a millionaire West German industrialist now on the run from American justice. Another is a Hong Kong businessman secretly financed by the Russians to infiltrate the heart of America's electronic warfare industry in order to gain access to personal records and potential blackmail victims. Hundreds of Soviet diplomats have been expelled from Western countries for indulging in such high-technology espionage. D-2.

        A Modern American Tragedy.

A Modern American Tragedy, a heralded segment produced by CBS' "60 Minutes," explores this problem of protecting classified information and dealing with this reoccurring situation in today's business and governmental arenas. It is the story of William Bell, a twenty-seven-year employee of Hughes Aircraft Company, who became a suspect in the stealing of classified defense secrets and the selling of them to foreign governments. An FBI investigation revealed that Bell, heavily in debt, fell prey to his neighbor, a Soviet spy, who convinced him to steal certain classified secrets in exchange for money. For a total of $100,000, Bell sold out his country. D-2.

This film is meant to inspire adults and children to take action for nuclear disarmament. D-2.

        The Lost Generation. (Color/TVT/20 min./1983) A plea for world peace, this heartbreaking film is a verbal and visual diary of the events that took place on 6 and 9 August 1945, when the United States dropped atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The shocking testimonies of the survivors are painful in every detail, as they recount the dreadful and irreversible effects on the populations of both cities.

        On the Eighth Day. (Color/TVT/60 min./1984) Scientists in both the West and the Soviet Union have come to realize that the fallout from a nuclear exchange would not be just radioactive. In this film, a group of leading scientists build a computer model of the earth's atmosphere to test the effects of the enormous injection of smoke and dust into the atmosphere after a global nuclear war. The results are that temperatures would fall by up to 40 degrees and remain below freezing for months. What would this "nuclear winter" destroy? Scientists project the effects of huge dust clouds from nuclear war by studying the dust from volcanic eruptions. They also consider the theory that the extinction of dinosaurs was caused by huge dust clouds caused by the earth's colliding with a giant meteor.

        Threads. (Color/TVT/110 min./1984) This is a deeply moving and realistic account-based on scientific, medical, agricultural, and psychological researchof what might happen during, and after, a nuclear attack on Britain. The time span of the story runs from a month before to thirteen years after the imagined war. and relates events through the experiences of two families-the working-class Kemps and the middle-class Becketts. In this postatomic world, money has no value, old manual skills have to be relearned, and barter becomes the basis of the economy. The psychological impact of the war is in many ways as great as the physical destruction. D-2.

        To Die, to Live: The Survivors of Hiroshima. (Color/TVT/63 min./1982) The dropping of the first atom bomb on Hiroshima was the greatest single catastrophe man has ever inflicted on man.

        The War Game. (B&W;/TVT/49 min./1966) This classic film has opened the eyes of many thousands to the reality of a nuclear war. It simulates the aftereffects of a nuclear attack based on information supplied by experts in nuclear defense, economics, and medicine. The use of man-on-the-street interviews, location shooting with hand-held cameras, and amateur actors results in a film of such impact and realism that it has been kept off television. D-2.

        War Without Winners II (Color/TVT/29 min./1982) Brought to light in this film are the startling facts and raw emotion of what has been called the number one health hazard in the world today: nuclear war.

They are designed to prevent Soviet missiles from striking the United States, and they take the West into a new defense strategy. This is an examination of how close to reality the President's vision has come. D-2.

        The Real Star Wars: Defense in Space. (Color/TVT/50 min./1984) President Reagan's "Star Wars" proposal represents a turning away from the doctrine of deterrence, or "Mutual Assured Destruction" (M.A.D.), to a defensive policy that would depend on exotic weapons and super-fast computers-a strategic defense system that might protect the United States from Soviet missile attacks. Among the exotic weapons that might be used is the deadly X-ray laser, developed by Dr. Edward Teller, the father of the H-bomb. The program uses a unique, three-dimensional animation process that employs models of new weapons systems that employ lasers, particle beams, and hypenvelocity projectiles. Also featured are several short debates between experts. Secretary of Defense Weinberger confronts Robert McNamara and physicist Richard Garwin, who both oppose the defense initiative, and then joins with scientist Robert Jastrow, who supports the administration view.

Civil War: Promise of Reconstruction. (Color/TVT/28 min./1972) What the future would hold for former slaves after the Civil War was presaged in the Port Royal "experiment," which is re-created in this film. This videotape follows Gideonite missonaries, as they strove to educate and teach small-business management to the 7,000 slaves who were abandoned by their plantation owners in South Carolina. Tragically, the noble experiment foundered in a sea of profiteering. D-3.

Civil War: The Anguish of Emancipation. (Color/TVT/27 min./1972) This dramatic reenactment centers around the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation and reveals the agonizing dilemma that confronted Abraham Lincoln as he struggled to resolve the Civil War.

The Civil War: The First Two Years. (B&W;/TVT/16-mm/20 min.) Lincoln's fateful decision to supply Fort Sumter turned a sectional conflict into the Civil War. Bull Run then dampened the expectations of the North for a quick victory, so that both sides prepared for a long struggle that demanded enormous economic and human resources. In this film, students see the planning of strategy, follow the early campaigns in the east and west, and learn how ironclads made wooden ships obsolete. Also depicted are the contributions of women to the war effort and Lincoln's changing of the character of the war by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. D-3. (SAVPIN 702923).

Firing the Napoleon. (Color/16-mm/7 min./1970) How a trained gun crew services a Napoleon, a cannon used extensively by both sides during the Civil War, is demonstrated. Art is used to reveal the duties of each member of the crew. The gun is fired several times, showing details of the aiming and firing techniques involved. D-4.

Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville-the Bloody Road to Richmond. (Color/TVT/12 min./1982) In April 1861, Fort Sumter, South Carolina, was fired upon. The Civil War began, spreading from Pennsylvania to the Mississippi, from Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico. As the war dragged on and the Union troops took the offensive, the battle cry became "On to Richmond." But to get to the Confederate capital, the Union troops first had to take Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. This tape describes and analyzes the cost of these engagements in both men and materiel. D-4.

From These Honored Dead. (Color/16-mm/13 min./1969) The words of the Gettysburg Address still hang in the air over the Gettysburg battlefield. This film attempts to give both perspective and meaning to the address and the battle, emphasizing emotion and meaning rather than military tactics. D-4.

This eight-part series outlines the campaign. D-8.
      Part 1. Jackson's Objective. (Color/TVT/60 min.) Robert G. Tanner, author of Stonewall in the Valley, examines Lee's bold decision to send Jackson marching down the Shenandoah Valley as part of divide and conquer a Union Army an attempt to that vastly outnumbered the Confederates. Tanner's enlightening lecture underscores the importance of Jackson's dual mission of using Southern military aggression to create political dissatisfaction with the war in the North, while he, at the same time, fought and defeated three Union armies. D-8.

      Part 2. Composition of Jackson's Army. (Color/TVT/60 min.) Kent M. Brown, author and editor of Virginia Country's "Civil War Forum," presents an account of the lives of Jackson's "foot cavalry."

D-8.

      Part 5. Hunter McGuire. (Color/TVT/60 min.) William W. Hassler brings to life Jackson's extraordinary physician, Hunter McGuire, who had the rare privilege of being Jackson's confidant.

Dodson Ramseur, presents "Make Me a Map of the Valley," a lecture highlighting Hotchkiss' remarkable map-making talent. Considered Jackson's "deadliest weapon," Hotchkiss' maps enabled Jackson to capitalize on the element of surprise in his valley campaign. Gallagher reveals the secret of how Hotchkiss was able to accurately re-create a map of the Unioncontrolled valley. D-8.

      Part 7. General James Shields. (Color/TVT/60 min.) William W. Hassler, a distinguished Civil War scholar best known for his biography of A. P. Hill, explains why Union General Shields is remembered as the only general to defeat Stonewall Jackson in the field of battle, even though Shields was not present at the Battle of Kernstown. D-8.

      Part 8. Turner Ashby. (Color/TVT/60 min.) Millard K. Bushong, biographer of Jubal A. Early, Thomas Rosser, and Turner Ashby, scrutinizes the life of Jackson's colorful cavalry chief, Turner Ashby.

Project Warrior: The American Civil War. (Color/TVT/32 min.) The American Civil War was the first modern war for the nation and the bloodiest. It was an ideological conflict that not only divided the country but its people. Its social and political undertones are still with us today. For the South to win, it had to unify and adopt an aggressive lightning-war strategy. But as a nonindustrial-agricultural society based on slavery, the South lacked the material resources necessary to carry on the war vigorously and decisively to the Northern heartland. This lack of resources resulted in the South's ultimate military defeat, for the North then carried the war to the South, striking and destroying its economy and way of life as a means of destroying its armies. All of this is portrayed in this videotape. D-1. (SAVPIN 602945).

Road to Gettysburg. (Color/1 mm/54 min.) This film drainatically reenacts the Battle of Gettysburg -the turning point in the Civil War-and the events that led up to it.

Slavery and Slave Resistance. (Color/TVT/25 min.) Slaves were a tragic people who were yanked from their own civilization. Cleavon Little narrates the story of a people who were deprived of the language and the companionship of their native countrymen. To assure that they would not band together in revolt, they were tied and bound like animals by their masters. Their determination to assert their individual identities resulted in violent and passive revolts. The success of a few former slaves, such as poet Phyllis Wheatley, novelist Williams Wells Brown, and newspaperman Frederick Douglass, forged a trail for others to follow in obtaining their freedom. This videotape was produced for the New York Times by Perspective Films. D-3.

A Slave's Story: Running a Thousand Miles to Freedom. (Color/TVT/29 min./1972) Based on a slave narrative by William and Ellen Craft, and eloquently introduced by their great-granddaughter, this dramatization of the Crafts' actual escape from slavery in 1848 follows their perilous journey from the deep South to Philadelphia, where, on free soil, they were still to experience racial discrimination.

Students of the period will relive those final, somber moments at Appomattox Courthouse, where America's costliest war was brought to a close. D-4.

Surrender at Fort Donelson. (Color/TVT/5 min./1979) It's 15 February 1862, the night before the fall of Fort Donelson in Tennessee, and Confederate Generals Floyd, Pillow, and Buckner cannot reach an agreement. Should their weary troops attempt to cut through the reinforced Union lines that surround Fort Donelson, or should they surrender? This dramatic reenactment depicts the generals' debate-a decisive moment of the Civil War. D-4.

The True Story of the Civil War. (B&W;/16-mm/33 min.) This film, made up mostly of Mathew Brady's original wet-plate photographs, forms a record of the Civil War.

Utilizing Bingham's paintings and commissioned artwork in the Bingham style, this film gives us a brief look at the conditions that created the Battle of Wilson's Creek and the warfare that followed. We view the many people who wished to remain neutral in the war and yet were swept up in the pitiless conflict, a war where enemies and threats were dimly defined. D-4.

2. POST-CIVIL WAR AND SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR.

Contrasts. (Color/TVT/48 min.) This film surveys the weapons, dress, and equipment of the 1876 U.S. cavalryman and the Plains Indian warrior. Filmed on site at the Reno Crossing. D-18.

Custer's Last Fight. (B&W;/Silent/TVT/56 min.) This Thomas Ince classic is the earliest film on Custer's "last stand" in existence. The original three reels were filmed in 1912. This more complete version, released in 1925, contains all the 1912 film plus two more reels. It is surprisingly accurate. D-18.

History Recovered: The Custer Battlefield Archaeological Survey of 1984. (Color/TVT/58 min./1985) The archaeological dig at the location of what is commonly known as "Custer's last stand" is chronicled by this illuminating documentary. Narrated by Dick Cavett, the program begins with a brief historical overview of General Custer's battle before turning to the archaeological survey. Maps of the battle area-showing Army and Indian movements-and interviews with the project archaeologists are interesting but secondary to the thrilling highlights of the program-footage of the actual field work, revealing its innovativeness in the use of volunteers and metal detectors. The actual discovery of countless buried battle artifacts is the highlight of the show. D-18.

Then, beginnning in 1835, waves of white settlers eventually forced these Indians from one reservation to another, ultimately leading them into war and their own destruction as a people. This film traces their tragic saga. D-4.

Navy Decline, the New Navy and the War With Spain, 1865-1898; History of the United States Navy. (Color/16-mm/20 min.) Chronicled in this film is the decline of the Navy following the Civil War and its subsequent reconstruction as the "new" Navy in the 1880s based on the dynamic philosophy of sea power expressed by Alfred Thayer Mahan.

Red Sunday. (Color/TVT/24 min.) Narrated by John McIntire, this videotape, made for broadcast TV, is the story of Custer's "last stand," as told in art, photos, Indian drawings, and reenactment scenes. D-18.

Sitting Bull. (Color/TVT/26 min./1977) Profiles in Power Series. "The Great Spirit made me an Indian; he did not make me a reservation Indian. I fought ... I fought for my people ... The Black Hills were stolen from us. We never touched a pen. We never sold our land. It was stolen." This is the tragic but heroic saga of Indian-United States relations as it can be interpreted from the life story of Sitting Bull, the great Sioux chief. Through this sophisicated imaginary dialogue between present-day interviewer Patrick Watson and an actor who captures the legendary chief's charisma, the story unfolds. D-3.

Spanish-American War-Conflicts and Rebellions. (B&W;/5 min.) The opening scenes of this presentation show the wreck of the U.S.S. Maine and troops training for the Spanish-American War.

Assassination at Sarajevo. (B&W;/16-mm/16 min.) A world of royal prerogatives and aristocratic privileges blew up in June 1914, when Archduke Francis Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, which was the immediate cause of World War I. This film documents this time of upheaval. D-2. (SAVPIN 82038).

Background Tensions. (Color/TVT/13 min.) When Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo, European tensions were stretched tight. Nobody wanted war, but everyone had a grievance.

The Day the Guns Stopped Firing. (B&W;/16-mm/18 min.) The Bolshevik military victory in Russia's Civil War was due partly to the lack of cooperation among the various White commanders and partly to the reorganization of the Red forces after Trotsky became commissar of war.

Men of Bronze. (Color/TVT or 16-mm/58 min.) The 369th Combat Regiment was made up of black Americans recruited to fight in World War I. Because of the institutionalized prejudice of the time, these men embarked on a ship that was so deficient that it took months to get it out of New York harbor.

Revolution in Russia, 1917. (B&W;/16-mm/19 min.) The 1917 Russian Revolution climaxed a long period of unrest and repression. When World War I broke out, most of the political elements in Russia (except the Bolsheviks) united in supporting the war effort. However, by the end of 1916, repeated military reverses, acute food shortages, and the intense suffering of the civilian population created a revolutionary climate, and by the end of February 1917, most workers in Petrograd (Leningrad) and Moscow were striking and rioting for larger food rations.

2. BETWEEN THE WARS.
a. General.
      From Kaiser to Führer. (B&W;/TVT) The story of the ill-fated Weimar Republic, set up by foward-looking Germans after World War I, is sketched in this videotape. The depression, the inexperience of Germans at democracy, and the doubts of many of its adherents, sent the republic to its death in 1933. (SAVPIN 604933).

      World War II-Prologue, U.S.A. (B&W;/16-mm/28 min.) The dramatic events of the period between the end of World War I and the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 are chronicled from a worldwide perspective. D-1: MF 45-9090. (SAVPIN 23011).
    b. German Films.
      Assorted Nazi Political Films: 1932-1943. (B&W;/TVT/31 min./English Subtitles) The hypnotic oratory of Adolf Hitler is the highlight of this program, which presents four featurettes originally produced during the Nazi era. D-9.

      Part 1. One of Hitler's first open-air public addresses to be recorded on synchronized sound film shows him appealing for German unity at an election rally in 1932. The informally gathered civilian crowd and modest podium decorations (lacking the regimented pageantry of later National Socialist spectacles) starkly convey the personal, living bond between the leader and his followers.

      Part 2. In this tape, the Nazi leader stages an annually held procession in Munich to honor comrades who fell in the party's abortive 1923 attempt to seize power. Hitler, GUring, and Streicher lead former participants of the original march to the Feldherrenhalle in Munich's Imperial Square, where Hitler lays memorial wreaths and greets family members of his slain followers.

      Part 3. One of Hitler's last bloodless conquests was the takeover of Austria in March 1938. Hitler's public address in Vienna and the attending ceremonies, including a parade of Austrian army units, are reproduced from an original German newsreel of the time.

      Part 4. Nazi leader Goebbels' most famous speech, given on 18 February 1943, in which he asks his Berlin Sports Palace audience, "Do you want a total war?", is recorded in the Nazis' own newsreel coverage. Original sound excerpts from the ovation accorded Goebbels and the frenzied crowd response give a vivid impression of this phenomenal outburst of war fever-an expression that is today a fascinating psychological curlosity for historians. D-9: #164.

      Der Marsch zum, Führer (The march to the fdhrer). (B&W;/ TVT/50 min./1940) Marching boots were heard on German roads years before World War II, as each summer, thousands of Hitler youth traveled on foot from their hometowns to Nürnberg to participate in the annual Nazi Party Congress. This Third Reich propaganda film tells of these columns and shows them marching through the mountains, forests, fields, and towns of Hitler's realm. Their pilgrimage is climaxed by the colorful ceremonies of the Nurnberg Congress, where they parade before their Führer and are addressed by Nazi youth leader Shirach, Hess, and Hitler himself. Behind the splendid pageantry of this film and the remarkable discipline of its participants is revealed, as vividly as in any cinematic record in existence, the skill of the Nazi leaders in preparing Germany's youth, both physically and psychologically, for war. D-9: #017.

      Germany Celebrates Hitler's Birthday. (B&W;/TVT/21 min./1939/English Subtitles) The pageantry of the Third Reich and the precision of its army reached a dramatic climax during the festivities honoring Adolf Hitler on his fiftieth birthday, 20 April 1939. This complete Nazi newsreel shows Berlin-adorned with flags and floral displays by its citizens and a monolithic statuary designed by Albert Speer-preparing for the holiday. Scenes of throngs of Germans congratulating their leader are followed by a review staged by Germany's armed forces-the greatest military demonstration in the history of the Third Reich. Nervous-looking diplomats from France, the Soviet Union, and other European nations were among the thousands who watched the display of the modern, mechanized, and mighty fighting force as it paraded past its Führer to the melodies of Germany's traditional military marches for four and a half hours. D-9: #016.

      Hitler: February 10, 1933. (B&W;/TVT/30 min./English Subtitles) The contest for political supremacy in Germany was not yet decided when Adolf Hitler, the newly appointed chancellor for scarcely one week, rose in the Berlin Sports Palace to deliver what was perhaps the most important speech of his career. The Nazi leader, standing beside a table surrounded by watchful SA and SS men, faced crucial elections on 5 March and displayed the full, awesome charisma of his spellbinding oratory to condemn political enemies and to exhort his rowdy audience-and the millions listening on radio throughout Germany-to support his Nazi party in its grasp for total power. Hitler's speech, introduced by his Berlin Nazi leader, Joseph Goebbels, noticeably stirs the audience. All of this is pictured in an original National Socialist party election film. D-9: #014.

      Mussolini Visits Hitler. (B&W;/TVT/31 min./1937/English Subtitles) A million people jammed Berlin's Olympic Stadium and adjoining Mayfield in September 1937 to hear speeches by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini and to view the spectacular nighttime military tattoo performed by thousands of musicians of the German armed forces. This original Nazi documentary reporting on the Italian dictator's state visit to Germany also includes scenes of Axis leaders meeting in Munich, where they watch the annual German Army field maneuvers, visit the estate of Nazi Luftwaffe chief 9dring, and review military parades. Amid a backdrop of cheering crowds, festively decorated cities, and colorful ceremonies, the film offers the viewer a unique and fascinating opportunity to study the close relationship between the two dictators at the meeting, a relationship that cemented the future wartime alliance of their respective nations. D-9: #015.

      Olympia. (B&W;/TVT/203 min./1938) Olympia is one of the famous films of all time-Germany's cinematic pageant of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Controversial because of their location in the capital of the Third Reich, the games became, nevertheless, one of the most colorful and competitively balanced Olympics of the century. Hitler commissioned Germany's most renowned filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl, to create a monumental motion picture about the event. The resulting 3 1/2-hour epic was the culmination of nearly two years of painstaking work by Miss Riefenstahl who personally edited a million feet of film shot for her by her staff of 100 cameramen. The congenial mood of the film even extends to frequent, candid scenes of Hitler, relaxed and lighthearted among a crowd of spectators. Here is the spirit, the grace, and the nobility of the Olympics brought to life by one of history's greatest filmmakers and framed in the intriguing world of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. The film is narrated in English.
        Part 1. Festival of the People (112 min.) D-9: #011.

        Part 2. Festival of Beauty (91 min.) D-9: #012.
      Pre-war German Featurettes Package. (B&W;/TVT/60 min.) Contemporary film documentaries on prewar Nazi Germany deal almost exclusively with the political issues of the period. These featurettes mainly examine the policies and conduct of Adolf Hitler as he fashions Germany's swift and terrible war machine. This film reveals a more complete picture of life in the Third Reich as seen from the viewpoint of the German worker, the unknown private soldier, the rural peasant girl, and the individual craftsman. This four-part package, all produced in Hitler's Germany, provides an entirely new impression of the Third Reich that is both instructive and fascinating. D-9.
        Part 1. Yesterday and Today. Director Hans Steinhoff presents a skillful argument for National Socialism, with film clips contrasting the new prosperity under Nazi rule compared with that of the earlier Weimar Republic, which was inflicted with economic depression and unemployment. All of the misery and hopelessness of Weimar Germany is reflected in the scenes of unemployed German workers, who stand in bread lines while children saunter through dirty alleys nearby. French colonial troops move through Germany's streets, and prostitutes lurk in the doorways. Moral distress is mirrored in the faces of the German people.

        Part 2. Three Years of Adolf Hitler. This is one of the early efforts by the Nazi film propagandists to mold the image of the Führer. Scenes of Hitler's speeches and of colorful rallies highlight this short film.

        Part 3. Honor of Work. Everyone in Germany is happy to work again-according to this propaganda film. The potter, the farm girls bringing in the harvest, the young men inducted into the Reich's labor service, and the artisans precariously hacking through mountain cliffs as they build a German Alpine highway are filmed examples. This film, atmospheric in nature, is practically without commentary.

        Part 4. Becoming an Army. On the night of 7 March 1936, at a small German army barracks just east of the Rhine River, a shrill alarm arouses the peacefully sleeping soldiers from their beds. After struggling into their uniforms and buckling on their field equipment, the soldiers run down the stairs to assembly. There, they are issued live ammunition for their rifles, bringing them to the realization that this is not a drill. After lining up in a courtyard, the men are marched out of their base into the cold winter night. Their officers have not revealed to them their mission, but they are being led east, toward the border of the French-occupied Rhineland. This film portrays the events. D-9: #013.

        Tag der Freiheit: Unsere Wehrmacht (Day of freedom: our armed forces). (B&W;/TVT/21 min./ 1935) A warning of things to come is given in this featurette depicting a mock battle staged by German troops during the colorful ceremonies at NUrnberg on German Armed Forces Day, 1935. The camera follows the soldiers from their early morning preparations in their "tent city" to their march to the vast parade grounds, where a miniature war-involving infantry, cavalry, aircraft, flak guns, and the first public appearance of Germany's new "forbidden" tank-is presented, all before Hitler and thousands of spectators. This beautifully photographed film, created by Leni Riefenstahl, is a supplement to her earlier Triumph of the Will as a special tribute to the German Army. D-9: #018.

        Triumph of the Will. (B&W;/TVT/120 min./English Subtitles) Banned for more than thirty years, Triumph of the Will, by Leni Riefenstahl, generated perhaps the greatest moral and legal controversy in the history of the cinema. The subject of the film is the 1934 Nazi Party Congress. Staged annually at Ntirnberg, the congress was a series of speeches by Nazi leaders, reviews of their uniformed followers, and mass rallies involving thousands of people. Although Miss Riefenstahl's work has been labeled Nazi propaganda, it is actually the filming of a propaganda subject by a non-Nazi, a woman whose appointment by Hitler to make the film was resented by the professional propagandists in the Nazi hierarchy. The result is a fascinating expression of one individual's impression of the Hitler movement. The complete dominance of one man's personality over an entire nation is forcefully conveyed to the viewer's awareness. D-9: #010. Also, D-13: VY 1410.

Lots of dogfights and previously unavailable air-combat action are seen.

    Part 2. A Day with the A-36. Here you see a fighterbomber version of the legendary P-51. They called it the "Invader," and it was used against the Luftwaffe out of one of their own captured bases in Sicily.

    Part 3. Pacific Step Up. In watching this film, we ride with the Fifth and Tenth Air Forces and the RAF as they hit enemy strongholds in China. We also have a ringside seat as Navy divebombers hit Wake Island.

    Part 4. Japs over China. The beginning of Japanese military air power, tactics, and strategy is portrayed. We join these tough, cool pilots on a raid over Chungking. D-6.

    All the Fine Young Men. (Color/TVT/52 min./1984) One of World War IIs most dramatic campaigns took place in the skies over Europe, where the heroic men of the U.S. Eighth Air Force played a vital role. This program documents the story of these inexperienced men in aerial combat, who had a job to do and did it under the most hazardous conditions imaginable. Drawing on voluminous archives of original combat footage and interviewing those who recalled their ordeal, this videotape re-creates a picture of that time. The program recounts two major air raids. In the first raid, on the Schweinfurt ball-bearing plant in October 1943, the United States lost 60 bombers out of a total of 291 planes, with 600 crewmen killed. The second raid was the first major air raid on Berlin, which occurred in March 1944, just three months before the D-day invasion. The wartime ordeal of the Air Force lasted a little over a thousand days. In that time, nearly 6,000 heavy bombers and 3,000 fighter planes were shot out of the sky. D-2.
Along Our Shores. (B&W;/16-mm/17 min./1945) Reviewed in this film are the 1941-45 wartime activities within the U.S. continental limits and off the shores of the United States. Personnel training, port security, and search and rescue operations are discussed. D-4.

Attack and Reprisal. (Color/TVT/55 min./1946) Two of the most infamous war disasters are shown in a two-part account. The first feature is about the attack on Pearl Harbor and contains actual footage. The second feature covers the aftermath of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. Within nine seconds of the explosion, 100,000 people disintegrated into ash. This is a hard-hitting war documentation. D-15.

Attack-the Battle for New Britain. (B&W;/16-mm/47 min./1944) Depicted in this film are the attacks on Arawe and Cape Gloucester on New Britain, from plan of attack to final victory. D-1: CMF 40-1041. (SA VPIN 20361).

Auschwitz and the Allies. (Color/TVT/110 min./1982) In June 1944, two escapees from the most organized center for mass murder in history brought the story of its existence to the Allies. Both men tell their story publicly for the first time in this film. While this revelation did save 600,000 lives, the general reaction to news of the death camps was disbelief and skepticism. This is an impressive documentation of these crimes, which left no nation or people unaffected. D-2.

Away Boarders. (B&W;/16-mm/22 min./1945) Presented in this film is the story of the U.S.S. Guadalcanal and the capture of the first German submarine in World War II by the commanding officer of that ship. D-4.

Background and Causes. (Color/TVT/17 min.) This program analyzes the many problems left unsettled by the Versailles Treaty and relates them to the events that led to the outbreak of World War II. The film focuses on the leading personalities of the time, the failure of the League of Nations, and the rise of totalitarian Germany, Italy, and Japan. D-3.

Bataan, the Forgotten Hell. (Color/TVT/52 min./1983) This film is not about war but about the durability of the human spirit. These are incredible stories of human survival as told by American servicemen who survived Japanese prison camps and "hell ships" during World War II. Using eyewitness accounts of survivors, this videotape describes the horror of the infamous "Death March" on Bataan and the relentless brutality committed against our soldiers by their Japanese captors. D-2.

Battle Action. (B&W;/TVT/120 min.) Air strikes, jungle beachheads, and assault landings captured raw on film are the grist of these videotapes-all part of one continuous presentation. D-6.
    Part 1. The Battle of New Britain-Dec. '42. In this portion of the videotape, a naval task force hits Arawe, Rabaul, and Cape Gloucester; B-25s sweep enemy positions; Marine and Army units hit the beaches. In mud, sludge, and blood, the foot soldier adds yet another page of combat glory to his tradition in this rousing videotape.

    Part 2. The Battle for Leyte Gulf. History's greatest single naval engagement is pictured. Shown is the battle for the Philippines, as planes, men, and the big guns of 282 ships square away in mortal combat. This is a jolting documentary of men in war.

The Soviet Paradise. (B&W;/TVT/14 min. English Subtitles/1941) The German Army cameramen on the Eastern Front not only witnessed World War II's greatest land battles but also were firsthand observers of life in Russia after twenty years of Soviet rule.

Its citizens are represented as starving children, youthful gangs, cowed laborers, and wretched peasants-barely existing on dilapidated collective farms or in overcrowded city slums, or even homeless on the barren steppes. A deserted university and the desecrated crypts of an abandoned church form dismal symbols of a knowledge and faith forsaken.

The Baltic Tragedy. (B&W;/TVT/2 cassettes/148 min./English Subtitles) Situated between Germany and the Soviet Union, the Baltic nations of Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia bore witness to some of the most ferocious land battles of World War II. Contrary to the wartime promises of the United States and England, the Baltic states were forced to become constituent republics, permanently occupied by Soviet troops after Germany's surrender in 1945. Through its example, the Baltic tragedy dramatizes the plight of all smaller nations whose sovereignty has become expendable in an unpredictable, changing world. This fifteen-part, continuous feature is made up of American, German, Latvian, and Soviet film segments, chronologically arranged and introduced with brief explanatory titles.
    Part 1. My Latvia. This portion of the film is a documentary featurette concerning the illegal Soviet military occupation of the three then-autonomous Baltic states in 1940. This unusual film, which illuminates Communist methods of internal subversion and conquest, includes rare scenes of Stalin and other Soviet leaders as they attend closed Kremlin meetings. The film examines the criminal background of the Latvian nationals who "invited" the Soviets into that country and subsequently assumed high Communist government posts. This grim and gripping film was produced by a Latvian filmmaker, Albert Jekste.

    Part 2. German Newsreel, June 22, 1941. These are the first scenes ever shown to the world of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of Soviet Russia, that began on 22 June 1941. Practically all of the footage in this excerpt was shot on the first day of the campaign and shows German infantrymen seizing river crossings and dueling with Soviet machine-gun nests and snipers in a Lithuanian border town.

    Part 3. German Newsreel, June-July 1941. The following week, the German wartime newsreel opens with flashback scenes of the 1939 Russo-Finnish War. The newsreel also features a long combat sequence of the battle for Lithuania and shows the capture of her capital city, Kaunas, as well as German advances on other strategic towns.

    Part 4. German Newsreel, July 1941. The barbarism of Soviet rule is the subject of this controversial German newsreel, which includes gruesome scenes of Baltic civilians who were tortured and murdered in large numbers by the retreating Red Army. Jewish members of the Soviet secret police, who were captured and filmed by the Germans, are shown as the authors of these crimes in a classic example of anti-Jewish propaganda from the Third Reich. The military sequences are highlighted by the crushing defeat that was inflicted on the Soviet forces by the Germans near Minsk.

    Part 5. German Newsreel, July-August 1941. The sixweek-long battle for Estonia, which the German Eighteenth Army invaded on 7 July, is the subject of this newsreel, which includes the Germans' triumphant entry into Tallinn, as well as the violent land and air battles that ensued when the German forces attempted to prevent the trapped. Red Army units from escaping from the coastal region by sea.

    Part 6. German Newsreel, October 1941. This newsreel offers a close look at the faces of the men who operated a Communist torture chamber-in this instance a group of Soviet prison guards who surrendered to German troops on the island of Saaremaa. The German newsreel commentator reads quotations from a speech by President Roosevelt praising the Soviet system of justice, as scenes of the mutilated bodies of the victims of the Russian guards are showm in the prison yard.

    Part 7. German Newsreel in Portuguese, November 1941. This rare newsreel segment is an. example of a German wartime newsreel made for foreign distribution. Narrated in Portuguese, the film shows air battles along the northern sector of the Eastern Front, as well as the German attacks against Narva and Novgorod.

    Part 8. German Newsreel in Estonian Language. From an Estonian-language newsreel made by the Germans, this segment shows a mass meeting in Riga of Baltic civilians volunteering to work for the German war effort.

    Part 9. German Newsreel, February 1944. Estonian members of the Waffen SS are shown in action, both offensively and defensively, in the bloody seesaw fighting for the Narva sector, which became one of the longest and most famous battles of the German-Soviet War.

    Part 10. Soviet Newsreel, July 1944. This segment from an original Soviet wartime newsreel shows the preliminary artillery bombardment and Soviet attack on Vilnius, Lithuania, as well as the Red Army's first contact with the city's civilian population.

    Part 11. German Newsreel, August 1944. A graphic picture of the German Army in retreat is presented in this newsreel, which shows the Wehrmacht's evacuation of the city of Kaunas, the actions of various rear-guard units, the unloading of a supply train, and a subsequent violent German counterattack against Soviet forces advancing into Latvia.

    Part 12. German Newsreel, October 1944. Filmed on the Baltic Sea, this German newsreel dramatizes the plight of thousands of Estonian civilians, as they are evacuated to Germany on a German naval convoy. A sequence showing a parade of Latvian members of the German Air Force is also included.

    Part 13. German Newsreel, January 1945. In one of the last German wartime newsreels, a glimpse of the ferocious defensive battle for the Courland peninsula in Latvia is shown. Germany's Army Group Courland, which repulsed six Soviet offensives and held out to the end of the war, was the German Army's only undefeated army group of World War II.

    Part 14. The subject of this English-narrated newsreel excerpt, filmed in postwar Sweden, is the forcible repatriation to the Soviet Union-and to certain death-of 167 Baltic men, who had escaped by sea to Sweden in May 1945 after wartime military service with Germany's Army Group Courland. This provides a grim example of what was beginning to take place in eastern Europe while westerners were settling into a long period of peace and prosperity.

    Part 15. The Homeless. This 1949 American film, narrated by Henry Fonda, examines life in a West German camp for displaced Baltic citizens, who, because of the Communist regime now gripping their own nations, could not return home. Carefully avoiding criticism of the Soviet Union, the film is an apologetic token, rather than a tribute, to the suffering of these thousands. Ultimately released from their confinement, many of the homeless seen in this feature eventually found a new home in the United States; therefore, this film, together with the entire Baltic Tragedy program, presents yet another chapter concerning the peoples who fled from sorrow and enslavement toward uncertainty and hope and who today are part of our nation. D-9: #023.
The Battle of Kharkov. (B&W;/TVT/27 min./English Subtitles) This is an original German newsreel of one of World War II's most devastating confrontations. In May 1942, an onslaught of three Soviet armies collided with a German force preparing its own eastward offensive at Kharkov, Russia, and the ensuing battle cost the Red Army nearly a quarter-million men in just two weeks. German frontline cameramen, positioned to film their own army's planned advance, captured every detail of the massed attacks of Soviet armor and infantry in a breathtaking film that includes spectacular footage of German aerial bombardments. Adolf Hitler is also seen, arriving at Kharkov after the battle and then visiting Finland. D-9: #277.

Die Frontschau (The front shows). (B&W;/TVT/60 min./English Subtitles) Nazi Germany's Front Show is a unique combat documentary that presents the individual actions of a company or battalion in a single engagement, portraying war as it is seen by the common soldier. Here is the individual fighting for his life in one of the countless simultaneous skirmishes that combine to form a battle. We see the section leader visiting his outposts, the machine gunner dueling with an enemy sniper, and the medic struggling to save a wounded comrade under fire. We experience action at the human level. Never shown to the German public during the war, the grim films were screened before German troops to initiate them to the reality of life and death at the front. The operations of small units, elaborately filmed under actual combat conditions, are composed into militarily instructive film records devoid of propaganda in composition and narration, Each film's realism is further enhanced by the liberal inclusion of captured enemy footage, frequently filmed during the same engagement. A new and fascinating picture of the first year of Germany's war with the Soviet Union is offered in this program, which presents the following shows:
    Part 1. Front Show 5/6, Mountain Troops Fight for a Village. A Bavarian-reinforced mountain battalion, supported by field howitzers and a battery of Sturmgeschuetz III self-propelled guns, seizes a Soviet village defended by infantry, a camouflaged bunker, and T-34 Soviet tanks.

    Part 2. Front Show 7, Attack of Tanks and Infantry Against a Village. German Mark IV tanks, panzer grenadiers, and dismounted infantry charge through a snow-covered Russian steppe under heavy defensive fire to envelop an enemy-held village.

    Part 3. Front Show 8, The Defensive Battle in Winter. A hit-and-run reconnaissance patrol and entrenched German infantrymen fight a desperate defensive engagement against an attack by white-clad Soviet ski troops and tanks towing infantry-filled armored sleds. A graphic picture is sketched of a German holding action that, as the narrator says, "depend[ed] on every individual's steel-hard will to hold his position to the last." D-9: #022.
Die Kriegsmarine. (B&W;/TVT/45 min./English Subtitles) This is Nazi Germany's own two-part cinematic tribute to her World War II surface navy. D-9.
    Part 1. Battleship on a Voyage. This videotape records scenes from an Atlantic sortie of Germany's famous battle cruiser Scharnhorst during the first winter of the war. Combat sequences are highlighted by antiaircraft fire against attacking Allied bombers and the bombardment, by the ship's heavy-caliber batteries, of an enemy surface target. The film also depicts the great raider's struggle with nature, as her bow crashes through the endless ice floes of the North, Atlantic, her decks whipped by ferocious winds. Also shown are the everyday maintenance duties, the exertions of the men as they chop away ice formed on the warships superstructure, the tension of the gun crews in battle, and the relaxation on their faces as they sing sailor's songs after duty. All of these views combine to give a vivid impression of the life of the warrior crewmen on a battleship in Hitler's navy.

    Part 2. Auxiliary Cruiser in All the Seas of the World. This is Germany's wartime documentary of an unnamed "Q-boat." Nazi Germany captured the imagination of the world during the first years of the war at sea with the appearance of these boats. Former merchant vessels refitted for military use, they retained the most deceptively innocent outward appearance. Armed and manned by the most daring of crews, the disguised raiders stalked the sea lanes of the world, preying on Allied shipping. D-9: #025.
Fortress Europe: Behind Enemy Lines on D-Day. (B&W;/TVT/88 min./English Subtitles) Carefully selected footage drawn exclusively from original German World War II newsreels, this videotape gives a comprehensive picture of every phase of the Third Reich's defense of "Fortress Europe." Shown are the technically fascinating nature of the construction of the Atlantic Wall coastal fortifications; the suspenseful anticipation as German soldiers rehearse their units' future battle roles; the drama of the first day of the Allies' invasion on the Normandy beachheads; and the desperate struggle against the invaders fought out in the French interior by Hitler's army and his elite paratroop and Waffen SS divisions -forces that were led by some of Germany's most resolute field commanders. D-9.
    Part 1. German Newsreel: August 1-7, 1942. This film shows German artillery, antiaircraft guns, and armor as they go into position in the French coastal region.

D-9: #279.
German Invasion of Poland, 1939. (B&W;/TVT/60 min./English Subtitles) The world's first look at Hitler's armies at war is offered in this filmed documentary, which presents National Socialist Germany's version of her September 1939 invasion of Poland. Photographic and film records of the Polish conflict-whic:h was eclipsed by later campaigns of greater size and longer duration-are scarcely ever seen, so this program fills an important cinematic gap in the military history of the Third Reich. The Germans' opening campaign was not only the first example of their attack strategy that was to stun the world during the following years, but it was also the first illustration of the National Socialist regime's skillful use of composed wartime newsreels and propaganda films. Germany's claimed justifications for the invasion was the peacetime bombardment of the Silesian town of Beuthen (Bytom) by Polish artillery and the persecution of German nationals residing in the Polish corridor. Unfamiliar scenes appear in this first German war newsreel.
    Views of air raid preparations within German cities and the call-up of army reservists are followed by the first footage ever shown of German troops in action in World War II Members of the Waffen SS, supported by an armored car, are shown as they attack Polish soldiers holding out in a post office inside the port city of Danzig. The lightning thrust of the German Army into Poland includes segments showing cavalry, motorcycle units, infantry, mountain troops, and armored formations. These units act with a battlefield discipline and coordination that are remarkable considering their inexperience in actual combat. Scenes show the Luftwaffe embarking on a combat sortie and a point-blank naval bombardment against a Polish fort by the German Navy's warship Schleswig-Holstein.

    Hitler's frequent and dramatic appearances near the front in Poland-which of necessity decreased as the fighting progressed to other theaters of war-were liberally included in the Germans' own film records of this campaign. Here, as experienced in no other film of World War II, is Adolf Hitler at war: grim and calculating at a military conference in his field headquarters; lighthearted and relaxed among the soldiers, as he signs autographs at an army field kitchen; proud and confident, as he reviews columns of his advancing infantry; and apprehensive and excited, as he watches the climactic German artillery bombardment of Warsaw. D-9: #020.
Men Against Tanks and Engineers to the Front. .(B&W;/TVT/48 min./English Subtitles) German soldiers were thoroughly prepared for frontline action, not only through their experience with field exercises and maneuvers, but also through their familiarity with the most realistic training films ever made by any military. When battle scenes staged for the camera were necessary to give reserve infantrymen a more concise picture of the specific types of combat situations they might face, an effort was made by the German Army filmmakers to accurately re-create such a conflict to the minutest detail from knowledge of past engagements. These training films, each presented exactly as they were viewed by German military recruits, are remarkable for their vividness in simulating the most appalling battle conditions without compromising their instructive quality.
    Part 1. Men Against Tanks (1943). This is the filmed drama of an entrenched German infantry platoon, unsupported by aircraft, heavy weapons, or reinforcements, that must repel an overwhelming attack of Soviet T-34 and KV-1 tanks, infantry, and fighter planes. Mistakes, panic, and the failure of some of their own weapons further endanger the Germans, as they desperately attempt to eliminate the Russian armored vehicles at close range with satchel charges, smoke grenades, and mines. The brutality of this sequence, together with its demoralizing subject of a German defensive position being overrun, gives insight into the grim realities of the Eastern Front, the destination for the German recruits meant to view this film. A second sequence in this same film dramatizes the efforts of a rearward Wehrmacht supply unit to organize itself for a makeshift defense when a Soviet T-34 tank rumbles down the road to drop in for an unexpected visit. A final sequence shows the actual firing, under re-created battlefield conditions, of brand-new antitank weapons introduced by the German Army, including the famous Panzerfaust (28 min.).

    Part 2. Engineers to the Front (1940). The lightning advance of the German Army could often be credited to its highly disciplined army engineers, men who were experts at eliminating defensive barriers. Every combat activity of these professional assault teams is presented in this film, made at an army engineers' training school. Scenes of men forcing river crossings in assault boats while under fire, hastily constructing emergency bridges, and negotiating antitank obstacles and minefields highlight the fast tempo of this feature. Concrete and barbed-wire (Maginot Line-type) fortifications are attacked with flamethrow6ts, grenades, and bangalore torpedoes., Films of trainees in action under the most realistic simulated-combat conditions are combined with maps and models to give the viewer a fascinating impression of what happened on a World War II battlefield when German Army field commanders gave the order, "Pioniere Voran!" (19 min.). D-9: #024.
Sieg im Westen (Victory in the West). (B&W;/TVT/120 min./English Subtitles) One of history's greatest victories by German force of arms was the Nazis' six-week invasion of Holland, Belgium, and France in the spring of 1940. The following February, Victory in the West premiered in cinemas throughout Germany, and a terrible war became a propaganda pageant before the eyes of that nation. Nazi filmmakers spent months editing the extensive amount of combat footage shot by their frontline cameramen. Authentic Allied film, taken during the ampaign, was skillfully intertwined into the battle sequences. The German film composer, Herbert Windt, renowned for his neoclassical scores for the Riefenstahl film epics Triumph of the Will and Olympia, was commissioned to create appropriately thunderous music to orchestrate the ferocity of the blitzkrieg. The culmination of these labors by Germany's filmmakers, as skillful in the editing room as Germany's soldiers were on the battlefield, is a film that is possibly the most spectacular war documentary ever made.

Filming at great peril to his life, we see a German frontline cameraman in a Heinkel III bomber as its gunner shoots down a British Spitfire. We see a cameraman in a Mark IV tank, as it is fired on by its French counterpart. We see a cameraman crouch on the west bank of the Rhine River, as enemy machine-gun bullets rip into the water at his feet. We see him again with the first Germans who drive into Dunkirk. A cameraman crawls beside army engineers, who assault France's formidable Maginot Line. The German cameraman is also on the scene during the battle's pause and as weary troopers read and reread letters from home. Later, one stands at the graveside, as infantrymen lay their slain comrades to rest. A German cameraman even follows bareheaded German soldiers into a French cathedral.

Another German cameraman is in Paris as the German Army triumphantly parades down the Champs Elys&#233es. One of his brethren is inside the railway carriage with Hitler as the Nazis dictate surrender terms to the French. A cameraman is in the prisoner-of-war camp with the despairing, vanquished foe. Though tainted with the Nazi ideal of glorious conquest, Victory in the West depicts the action, the fear, the sorrow, and the brutality of war with dramatic realism. It also gives much insight into the Nazi war psychology. Just as Triumph of the Will is an instructive film for understanding the heart and soul of the Third Reich, Victory in the West is an informative film showing us its sword. D-9: #021.

U-Boot am Feind (U-Boat against the enemy). (B&W;/TVT/42 min./1940) Part 1. (This is the first part of a continuous two-part videotape.) This is an original German wartime documentary depicting life on board a U-boat in the North Atlantic. All footage was filmed on board a submarine during an actual mission (30 min.); Part 2. Now It Can Be Told. This official U.S. Navy film shows the German submarine U-505 being boarded and captured in June 1944 off Cape Blanco, French West Africa, by a task group of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. This was the only German submarine ever boarded and captured at sea and the first foreign man-of-war so captured by the U.S. Navy since 1815 (12 min.). D-9: #051.

That War in Korea. (B&W;/TVT/77 min./1966) The war that was not a war-but a "police action"-is portrayed as the first unified international action against aggression. The post-World War II calm of Asia was shattered by the sudden invasion of South Korea in 1950, which impelled American forces under the UN flag into a series of dramatic military operations. By the time a final truce was reached, the scars left on both sides revealed not peace, but a pause in the cold war. D-2. (SAVPIN 605259).

Some survived by running away from society and hiding in the wilderness.

    The makers of The Haunted Heroes found four such men living by their wits in the forests of America, men with memories still vivid with violence. Their memories of what they had been trained to do to fellow human beings and the horrors they had witnessed had turned them into outcasts. Says one veteran, "After Vietnam I was a walking time bomb. I walked around for years seared to death that I was gonna fly off the handle some night and snuff somebody." For him and others like him, the wilderness offers a haven from a society to which they feel they can never return. (This tape was produced by the BBC.) D-2.

Murdering guards and security agents, they held seventy hostages for two days, finally escaping with the cooperation of the Austrian government, which placed a bus and jet at their disposal. A re-creation of the attack graphically illustrates the modus operandi of the trained terrorists and provides insight into the phenomenon of international terrorist groups. In interviews, experts on the subject examine the factors contributing to the rise of international terrorism and the possible defenses against such incidents. The full dramatization, along with a profile of the leader of a terrorist group, convey the consequences of terrorism more vividly than any analysis of data or application of theory could. Time of the Jackals is a pertinent commentary on the recent trend of political conspiracy and violence. (CTN Television Network) D-2.
