GLOBAL WARFARE
ROMANIA--Enemy film seized by the 15th U. S. Army Air Force shows the tremendous destruction which their planes had wrought upon the invaluable Ploesti oil fields, in their series of raids. The wrecked refineries, oil storage tanks, railway systems and aircraft plants are mute evidence that the raids were highly accurate. And even King Michael can't put out the roaring oil fires which burn continuously by day and by night.
MOROTAI, IN THE HALMAHARAS--After this strategic island, just 300 miles below the Philippines, receives a merciless naval bombardment, U. S. troops from huge Landing Boats, wade ashore in the worst landing beach they have encountered. General MacArthur joins his men ashore, and the air strip is captured.
PELELIE, IN THE PLAUS U.S.--Infantry and Marines are brought ashore by Landing Barges and alligators. They leap ashore and enter into a pitched, flaming battle. So severe is the action that Damon Parer, the newsreel cameraman who made these pictures, was killed while securing them.
SIEGE OF TENGCHUNG--Controlling the juncture of the Ledo Road and Burma Road, this key point was fiercely defended by the Japs against the American-trained Chinese 20th Group Army.

U.S. NAVY STRIKES TOKYO
Plowing through tempestuous seas the U. S. Fifth Fleet takes positions several hundred miles off Tokyo . . . the huge carriers of Task Force 58 emerge from the armada . . . and fleets of war planes swoop away, their destination Tokyo.
En route, Jap ships are plastered and sunk by air cannon. Tokyo's docks are pounded. Mammoth Imperial air fields are strafed repeatedly. Intercepting Zeros are destroyed. Gun cameras record power dives on sprawling Jap factories. Rockets speed down into an aluminum factory, and huge fires mount from Tokyo.
Combat loss--Jap 817 planes, 51 vessels--U. S. 9 planes and 4 pilots.
THE CAPTURE OF MT. SURIBACHI
With the costly beach head finally secure on Iwo Jima, the U. S. Marines turn their attention to Mt. Suribachi, the volcano which is covered with Jap guns.
Off shore, U. S. Naval ships pour tons of shells into the mountain. The Marines slowly advance uphill as U. S. dive bombers place sticks of bombs immediately ahead of the Leathernecks. Jap fortifications with narrow entrances and huge, thick walls are reduced with hand grenades. Battered Jap gun emplacements, and scores of slain Japs are passed.
When at last the summit is reached, the Marines enact one of the stirring scenes in American history--the Stars and Stripes are planted on Suribachi -- 750 miles from Tokyo!

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.

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.

THE INVASION OF OKINAWA
Conferences at Guam ended, Pacific Fleet Commander, Admiral Nimitz sends an armada of 1,400 vessels to Okinawa in the Ryukus. En route, the men of the new U. S. 10th Army stage their own deck entertainment, and secure their issue of invasion money.
Land sighted, the big guns of the fleet bark into action, and tons of rockets are sped shoreward. Landing craft race in, and unopposed landings are made. Inland, Jap dugouts and pill boxes are destroyed with grenades. Past broken forts, natives climb down from the hills, the Stars and Stripes are run up, and the Yanks prepare for their campaign on Okinawa--360 miles from Japan itself.
ADVANCING WITH THE U.S. 3RD ARMY
From hill positions, the Yanks are confronted with blistering fire from the Nazis in the valley below. When Yankee tanks, tank destroyers, and machine guns silence the enemy, the U.S. 3rd continues its victory advance, rolling by miles of burning and wrecked Nazi equipment. And a flood of Nazi prisoners streams to a collecting yard.
