World War II: A World In Conflict
Never before had the world seen such devastation, such cruelty
and bloodshed as the fighting in World War II. This film contains
amazing footage of actual ground, sea and air battles from 1933
through 1945.
Our film starts with the Japanese invading and annexing Manchuria,
the response from the League of Nations and the bombing of an
American gunboat, The USS Panay. The leaders of the major
countries sign the Munich Pact and Hitler's invasion of Poland follows
as the world witnesses the first act of World War II in Europe.
See first hand the destruction of some of the world's major cities.
March along with American soldiers as they walk the 65 miles in
the "Bataan Death March." Watch as the leaders meet in different
countries to find a way to stop the tyranny of Germany, Italy, and
Japan. See the "Day of Infamy," when the Japanese fighters and
bombers attack an unsuspecting Pearl Harbor. Hear the speech by
President Roosevelt that asks Congress to declare war, then see
America's response to the dastardly act by Japan, as the last of the
industrial nations enters the war.
Witness the defeat of Italy, Germany and Japan as America drops
the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the historic
surrender ceremony aboard the USS Missouri. Watch as the most
destructive war in history is played out to its final conclusion.
