THE CAPTURE OF ST. LO
After 40 days of continuous fighting the Yanks mount a huge offensive which is aimed at St. Lo, Nazi stronghold. They cautiously proceed through the tricky terrain, bringing their machine guns, bazookas and mortars into murderous action.
Soon, Nazis appear waving white flags. The Yanks file onward past anti-personnel mines, and are on continuous alert for snipers. Shattering artillery and air barrages have prepared the way for them as they enter battered St. Lo. Snipers are hunted out and the victory is made secure.
So secure is it, that an "Out of Bound" refugee camp is set up, where in short order, French children are observed at play.

THE YANKS STORM GUAM
A tremendous task force approaches hilly Guam, in the accepted pattern of U.S. invasion of territory held by the Japs. Terrific gun fire and air bombs shatter many of the Jap shore positions--then the "amtracs" (new amphibious craft) swim out from the ramps of huge L.C.I.'s and the shores of this Jap-held American island are approached.
A few of the little craft are set on fire as Jap hits are registered, but the remainder get in. The Yanks leap ashore--Universal's intrepid cameraman, Irving Smith, right in their midst. A quick reconnaissance reveals that Jap battle stations have been razed, just as they were at Tarawa and Kwajalein. The landing is successful and the battle to secure the entire island is (illegible text).

ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
THE NAZI WAR LORDS IN DEFEAT
With Germany's complete capitulation, her various leaders present diverse pictures as they are forced from their habitats, into surrender.
Hermann Goering, Number Two Nazi, seems dazed as all the dangling medals are removed from his broad chest and he is subjected to a blistering press conference with British and U. S. correspondents. Discovery of his vast collection of stolen art treasures at Berchtesgaden, only adds to his discomfiture.
Field Marshal von Runstedt and his son are studies in unflinching Prussian militarism, before they are whisked away for internment. Field Marshal Kesselring, defence expert from the Italian campaign, seems deliriously amused at the prospect which awaits him.
While Adolf Hitler, the arch criminal, has not been taken into custody yet, a painstaking search of his many haunts is being made. A visit to Ladsberg Prison, in which he wrote Mein Kampf in 1923-4, merely reveals that his cell had been made into a Nazi shrine. And Berchtesgaden, Hitler's beautiful Alpine retreat, lies in virtual ruin, a place where proud ex-Nazi guardsmen are busily engaged as yard men, sweeping up the rubble which was left by R.A.F bombings.
BRADLEY AND SPAATZ RETURN
LA GUARDIA FIELD, N.Y.C. -- General Omar Bradley, Commander of the 12th Army Group, and General Carl Spaatz, Commander of the U. S. Strategic Air Forces in Europe, land in the U. S. from their victory abroad.
OPERATION P.L.U.T.O
The Pipe Line Under The Ocean was an engineering miracle by which the British pumped gasoline from the Isle of Wight to Cherbourg, France, a brief two months after D-Day. Huge drums floated and laid the specially prepared pipe line. Camouflaged pump stations at both ends of the line handled millions of gallons of oil each day, enabling the Allied mechanized armies to overrun Europe.
HYDROPONDICS IN TROPICS
ASCENSION ISLAND--On this lava ash island in the South Atlantic, fresh vegetables are raised in soil-less gardens composed of water and chemicals. The cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce compare favorably with any which are raised in the orthodox manner.
THE U.S.S. "LAKE CHAMPLAIN"
PORTSMOUTH, VA.--A giant new aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Lake Champlain, is christened and commissioned at the same ceremony. Mrs. Warren Austin, wife of the Vermont Senator, christens the vessel, after which Captain L. C. Ramsay is given its command.
