ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
THE CAPTURE OF COLOGNE
Tank units of the onrushing U. S. 1st Army rumble into Cologne's suburbs, with all guns blazing at heavy pockets of Nazi resistance. Stalled street cars are hauled out of the way, and Yank foot soldiers fight their way into Cologne, block by block.
Cologne lays in absolute ruin, after having been a "saturation attack" target for allied bombers for three years. In sharp contrast, the Cathedral stands almost undamaged. Near the Cathedral, a Nazi tank is caught in U. S. gun sights, to be set afire with a direct hit.
Nazi prisoners are rounded up, Cologne natives return, while in back of the whole scene, the giant Hohenzollern Rhine bridge lies, mangled and twisted. Cologne is truly a "dead city."

Pre-convention views of San Francisco reveal that the attractive West Coast metropolis is ready and waiting for the arrival of the dignitaries of the world.
In a film interview, Sec. Stettinius states the aims and purposes of the parley.
THE LUDENDORFF BRIDGE
After this majestic 1,300 ft. bridge at Remagen, Germany was seized by the U. S. 9th Armored Division. Yank troops and supplies raced across it to the Rhine east bank in ever increasing numbers.

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.

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

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.

SHANGHAI FALLS! CHINESE SUICIDE SQUAD HOLDS WAREHOUSE AGAINST DRIVE
(Photograph by George Krainukov and Norman Alley)
SHANGHAI.--The mighty Japanese military machine finally forces gallant Chinese defenders to abandon their war-torn metropolis. But for days, 300 Chinese soldiers, sworn to death, hold a warehouse in Chapei, keeping their National flag waving above the building while they beat off the fury of 40,000 Nipponese attackers. In the end, the defenders are safely evacuated by British Tommies. Enthusiastic Chinese and foreigners, eager to acclaim the heroism of the men who stood fast in the face of certain death, mob the trucks that carry the men into neutral territory.
JAPANESE PRESS FORWARD THROUGH RUINS
DESOLATION AND SMOULDERING RUINS greet the Japanese as they seek to secure their advance around the once-magnificent city. Wide areas still burn, or reek with the smoke of destroying fires. Waves of Nipponese troops move relentlessly onward as heavy artillery wipes out big buildings right before the camera lens. Refugees by the thousand are caught in the maelstrom of war, many of them mowed down by shells and bullets, while others try vainly to find safety in the International Settlement. Machine-gun fire surrounds fleeing civilians, some of them carrying feeble mothers or fathers on their weary backs. Chinese troops dig in for another valiant stand in defense of their native land.
