77894 AMERICAN WAR DEAD & CASUALTIES WORLD WAR II WAR BOND FILM SIXTH WAR LOAN
Produced in 1945 as part of the Sixth War Loan, this short War Bond film presents a haunting portrait of the cost of war. As the narrator notes, every two and a half minutes — approximately equal to the amount of time spent watching the film — another American soldier has fallen in combat. It contains horrific images of wounded and deceased American soldiers, including a naked corpse at the :50 second mark. These gruesome images are contrasted with the work on the assembly lines of the United States, where victory is forged with every rivet, every tire created, every plane that flies. <p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
