SPECIAL RELEASE JAPAN AND THE U. S. AT WAR IN THE PACIFIC
Savagely and without warning, the Japs attack U. S. Pacific outposts with severe loss of life and property. Even while Jap envoys in the U. S. were talking peace!
Newsreel highlights of the latest theatre of war! While Japanese envoys "talk" peace in Washington, Jap naval planes rain death and destruction on Honolulu. Jap warships aim to destroy U. S. outposts in the Pacific, while Jap troops are on the move in the Far East, into Thailand, Burma and Malaya. Britain and America both prepare to declare war, while Americans on the "home front" are bitter in their denunciation of the unprovoked attack and firm in their resolve to fight to victory.

A PREVIEW TO INVASION
With every American tensely waiting every bit of information on the invasion battles in France, we deem it our public duty to present a pictorial record of how the invasion looked when rehearsed in various training areas abroad.
Supreme Commander Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's historic invasion message is heard as the landing barges plunge through the waves, with swarms of protective planes overhead. Battleships roar. Thousands of commando parachutists float to earth.
We see the Nazi practicing their defense. Huge guns are manned and their machine guns spit their staccato messages of death. Our barges land. Our troops leap ashore, back their way through the barbed wire, and all participants are fit and ready for the actual invasion of Nazi Europe.
AMERICA RECEIVES THE NEWS
Electric signs in New York City and Philadelphia carry the news of the landings in France to millions of city dwellers. The newsrooms of the giant radio networks turn into bee hives. The churches of the nation are jammed with devout parishioners, who are praying from the depth of their hearts for their loved ones in the services. And Gen. George Marshall and Gen. Hap Arnold enter the electrified atmosphere of the White House.
KING AND THE GRAND FLEET
King George VI inspects units of the Grand Fleet which is massed for important duties.
FIRE AND RUINS IN BERLIN
Huge clouds of smoke enshroud large burning areas of Berlin. And other sections of the Nazi capital are shown in utter ruin.
BABY SUBMARINE
British 2-man submarines are seen. The men, dressed in diving suits, sit on a torpedo and operate special releasing mechanism.
474 NEW "GENERALS"
WEST POINT--Graduation exercises are held for the '44 class. Lt. John Eisenhower draws special attention, but the marrying chapel gets very special attention.
DESTRUCTION OF THE LUFTWAFFE
Miraculous pictures of Nazi planes getting blown to bits (in the sky and on the ground), and of other feats of marksmanship by fleets of Allied airmen.
BEAUTIES REAP FLAX
KARNES COUNTY, TEXAS -- Patriotic girls, enlisted in the "Harvest Brigade," operate self-propelled harvesters in local flax fields. The brigade will cut huge swaths through the grain fields, all the way to Canada.
SUDS FOR G.I'S.
The British sailors have their grog--now the G.I. Joes in Italy get their American beer from a Naples brewery. It's a stirring sight to see the boys go for the stuff--they even rise from the earth to get a snootful.

FIRST PICTURES INVASION OF FRANCE
(The greatest co-ordination of arms ever portrayed on any motion picture screen in the world. Every scene made during the greatest victory of Allied power, to date.)
11,000 Allied planes plant their tons of pulverizing bombs on shore installations, strategic roads and bridges--then swoop down to strafe enemy trains, ships and planes
In England, the daredevil paratroopers sail away to their designations and the air-borne troops follow in their gliders. 4,000 ships set sail for the Cherbourg peninsula. The guns of the invasion navy roar into action. Assault boats bounce through the heavy sea . . . shore is reached and the intricate Nazi defences are penetrated.
Nazi prisoners are rounded up, and the many Allied and Nazi wounded are treated and returned to England. Allied heavy equipment rumbles by and the French natives welcome their liberators. Supreme Commander Dwight Eisenhower visits the scene and is welcomed by Generals Montgomery and Bradley.
The air poundings continue, and the mop-up search for snipers is on. The invasion is successful.
