This newsreel features military maneuvers, airplanes, invasions, and paratroopers. UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL 'TOPS THE FIELD' 'COVERS WORLD-WIDE EVENTS' Helps Build a Newsreel Following for Your Theatre THE ATTACK ON THE RYUKYUS Giant ships of the U. S. Fifth Fleet--immense new battleships and huge aircraft carriers--plunge through very heavy seas to be in position for the air assault on the Ryukyu Islands, less than 350 miles from Japan proper. The carrier planes take off and soon they are destroying vital airstrips on Okinawa, ships in harbors and other targets. Missions accomplished, they return to their flat tops to find a furious battle going on between the fleet and swarms of Jap planes. Exceedingly accurate anti-aircraft fire sends a succession of Jap planes spinning into the sea. EASTER OBSERVANCE N. Y. C.--Easter begins in Gotham with the annual Sunrise Service on the Mall in Central Park, with many wounded service men being noted both in the crowd and on the platform. After Archbishop Spellman pontificates at St. Patrick's Cathedral, worshippers leave to join the Fifth Avenue Easter Parade of 800,000. Yvonne De Carlo, Universal star, is prominent among the style paraders. Only the outdoor Lily Show at Radio City attracts more attention. U. S. ROCKET TANKS In the Rhine offensive, giant U. S. tanks mounting 60 rocket tubes lay down terrific rocket barrages either in salvo, or in rapid fire. PEACE AT GODESBERG When the Yanks enter Godesberg they survey the Hotel Dreesen, site of the famous Chamberlain-Hitler conference of '38 which was meant to avert war. To prevent the Huns from engaging in any more fighting, the Yanks disarm the citizens of all their weapons, including lances. ZWEIBRUCKEN CAPTURED Gen. "Iron Mike" O'Daniel's U. S. 3rd Infantry virtually razes this Nazi industrial and mining center before they enter it and round up all the civilians and bitter young Nazi troopers. CAPTURE OF SAARBRUCKEN The U. S. 7th Army rolls through the ruins and wreckage of this once proud city--site of the 1935 plebiscite. Now A.M.G. takes over. VOL. 18--386 Show more Show less

UNIVERSAL NEWSREEL 'TOPS THE FIELD' 'COVERS WORLD-WIDE EVENTS' Helps Build a Newsreel Following for Your Theatre INVASION--BY THE ALLIED AIRBORNE ARMY When the entire Rhine front explodes into action the First Allied Airborne Army takes flight for the Westphalian plains. From an observation post Gen. Eisenhower and Prime Minister Churchill watch the sky trains roar by overhead. The drop area reached, thousands of chutes float to the ground from twin side-door C-46 carriers, while giant C-47 tow planes release their gliders. Despite damaging resistance the gliders land with their jeeps and other materiel. Shortly, Nazi troops are marched in as captives, and this airborne invasion becomes one of the most successful in the history of warfare. CAPTURE OF COBLENZ With tanks leading the way, units of Gen. Patton's U. S. 3rd Army advance on Coblenz, the thousand-year-old transportation center. Repeated air bombings and heavy artillery fire have reduced the city to ruins, from which the Nazis offer scattered resistance. Tom Priestley, Universal cameraman, covers the entire action. Soldier dead litter the ground. A loud speaker is used to demand and direct surrender and several thousand Nazi prisoners are collared. White flags flutter from the few remaining ancient homes. Ancient Ehrenbrightstein Castle, used by the Germans as a fortress, is a battered pile of ruins. American tanks rumble through the narrow streets, and head eastward, deeper into Germany. 101ST AIRBORNE CITED In a stirring speech, Gen. Eisenhower awards the Presidential Citation to the famous 101st Airborne Division for its heroic defense of Bastogne. Steel-helmeted Marlene Dietrich joins the entire reviewing party in saluting the 101st. MYSTERY 6 MOTOR SHIP Secretly built during Nazi occupation, a gigantic 6 motor French flying boat is now unveiled. It takes off and flies as gracefully as anything in the air. FLAIL TANKS The Canadian First Army uses huge tanks with heavy rotating chain beaters in front of them which explode any and all buried Nazi road mines. VOL. 18--387 Show more Show less
