Ten years ago, soldiers of the United States Army were fighting all over the world, the hottest war history has seen. Today soldiers are on the alert, everywhere, to try to prevent this ever happening again. In this film, THE BIG PICTURE camera contrasts today and yesterday on the battlefields of Europe. Traveling from the beaches of Normandy, across France, and finally deep into the heart of Germany, Signal Corps cameramen photograph the cliffs and hedgerow, the forests and rivers, and contrast the street fighting with the quiet rebuilding of the cities of Germany.

Portrays dramatically the development of artillery in the Army from 1776 to 1957. Viewers will see the cannon that fought with Washington, a primitive weapon but good enough to pound the British at Bunker Hill, support the successful attack at Trenton, and aid in the defeat of Cornwallis at Yorktown. They will learn how artillery played a decisive part in winning the Battle of Gettysburg. Crammed into 28 minutes are stock shots of the allied Meuse-Argonne offensive that finally broke the back of the German Army in 1918; the Pacific campaign of World War II where artillery became the most effective weapon against the Banzai charge of the Japanese; and finally, Korea -- where American commanders traded manpower for firepower and once again artillery came to dominate the battlefield. Since artillery can never rest on past performances, this episode examines pictorially the new concept of today for American artillery -- mobility. The camera lens follows a battery commander and his unit as they move from one position to another by means of helicopter, ready for action again 20 miles away in a matter of minutes.
