ALLIES CRACKING THE WESTWALL
British mobile artillery with the Canadian First Army, opens up in massed fire on Goch, Germany --one of the northern anchors of the Westwall. Before long, the Tommies enter Goch and screen their mopping up with smoke bombs. Machine gun fire from tanks completes the victory.
Allied air fleets take off from icy runways to continue their merciless bombing of the Nazis.
Truck convoys of the American Armies are slowed down by heavy spring thaws. Damaged bridges are dynamited to break up ice jams and prevent additional floods. Fox holes are water holes. The G.I.'s keep fighting through it all, however, and the toll of Nazi prisoners rises.
B-29 ASSEMBLY LINE
SEATTLE, WASH.--A trip through one of the vast Boeing plants shows the huge B-29s in various stages of their assembly. Entrance into one of the superfortresses shows many of its features including the 35-foot "crawl tube"
between the pressurized compartments, and the operation of central gunfire-control.
WOUNDED G.I.'S RETURN
N.Y.C.--An Army Transportation Corps Troop Transport brings 844 wounded G.I.'s home, including 185 litter cases. Two of their top thrills are seeing Miss Liberty--and getting a glass of milk.
ALLIED JET PLANES
The British Gloster Meteor, powered with a single turbo-jet motor, is highly maneuverable and is faster than a Nazi buzz bomb. The American P-59, developed by Bell Aircraft and G. E., uses twin jet engines to rise almost vertically to tremendous heights at tremendous speed.
PATTON'S MEN TALK
One of Gen. Patton's battle-hardened tank crews is interviewed between battles. Private Pat Brady, a gunner with salty wisdom, reveals what life in a battle-tank is like. Even he laughs at part of it.

THE RE-CAPTURE OF CORREGIDOR
American planes drone over Corregidor, pin-pointing their bombs on Jap positions, as guns on U. S. warships hurl tons of shells into the same targets. Troop Transport planes appear above mid-island and the bombardment shifts to the shore line.
The 503rd Paratroopers pour out of the ships and fall to the ground. They quickly group and clean out the Japs from the high areas.
The amphibious troops come in at San Jose bay behind a curtain of bursting shells. Tanks, light artillery and heavy mortars shatter Jap-held buildings. The two infantry forces combine their attack under Gen. Charles P. Hall, and the victory is complete.
ALLIED PLANES RAZE GERMANY
As Allied air fleets converge on German cities we get visual evidence of their vital contributions to victory. A fleet of Flying Fortresses reaches Ansbach and utterly ruins the large rail yards there, with tons of accurately placed bombs. Stendall gets the same treatment with remarkable bombing pictures resulting. Wittenberg is quickly set on fire. Other vapor trailing Forts visit Indwigslust and destroy the rail yards with block busters. U. S. fighter planes swoop down on German airfields, where they leave every Nazi plane in flames . . . even planes partially hidden in open hangars are set afire by the strafing airmen.
OHIO VALLEY FLOODS
When the raging Ohio River and its tributaries overflow their banks, they cause the worst flood damage which the mid-West has known in seven years. At Cincinnati the river rises to 70 ft.--17 ft. above flood stage.
Louisville, Ky., viewed from Troop Carrier planes, has vast neighborhoods completely flooded, (illegible text) instances the roof-tops of homes are covered by the flood waters. Trains are stalled. Ten are killed in the disaster and property damage exceeds $10,000,000.

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 BATTLE OF MANILA
(Additional pictures, just received, showing the details of the terrible battle between MacArthur's Armies and the fanatical Japs).
The Japs, content with delaying actions against the Yanks, as they retreated southward in Luzon, resolved to put on one of their fanatical "death stands" within the confines of Manila. The motorized U. S. 1st Cavalry Division enters Rizal Stadium, where Jap fire meets them from the bleachers and the stands. Tank fire and machine guns turn the stadium into a death trap for the Japs.
Huge fires are raging throughout the city. Hundreds of huge Yank guns fire across the Pasig River into Jap hideouts. Then foot soldiers of the U. S. 8th Army use rifles, machine guns, liquid fire and grenades to finish off the Japs. Charred Jap corpses are seen. American wounded receive American Red Cross blood plasma.
Fighting converges on Intramuros--the old city, surrounded with 30 ft. walls. U. S. artillery breaches the walls, Jap machine gun nests are silenced, and fighting in Manila ceases. Nuns and Filipino civilians, used as shields by the Nips, leave Manila. Scores of corpses of other civilians are found, tied hand and foot--then coldly stabbed and butchered by the fiendish Japs.
General MacArthur walks through Manila, which now lies in absolute and complete ruin -- the Stalingrad of the Pacific. Pres. Osmena's government assumes power and Gen. MacArthur takes a PT boat to Corregidor. He stands before Parachute Troop formations up on the Parade Grounds, and touchingly orders the Stars and Stripes to be raised, "nevermore to be hauled down by any foe."

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."

THE LUDENDORFF BRIDGE
