REDS ROLLING TO BERLIN
As Marshals Zhukov and Rosokofskey direct wide flanking attacks on Warsaw, Red tanks and cavalry wheel into line to carry out the orders. Heavy artillery opens its murderous fire. The infantry advances using machine guns and heavy grenades. Die hard Nazi snipers are wiped out.
Ruined Warsaw is entered, Chopin's conservatory is ruined, in fact all buildings are mere shells. Warsaw had been Germanized, even the street cars had been reserved for Nazis.
The same story is repeated at Poznan, but here there is human ruin--a horror camp. Disfigured people walk about. The courtyard is filled with corpses and wailing women relatives. A chamber is loaded with torture implements including a guillotine. A parade of Nazi prisoners is attacked by frenzied Poles who punch right and left indiscriminately, just so they land on Nazis. Warsaw and Poznan are freed, and the drive for Berlin is on.

Secretary of State Stettinius pleads with the conference to admit Argentina and get on with the other matters on the agenda. When Chairman Anthony Eden calls for a vote, Argentina is invited to the parly by a vote of 31 to 4.

WAR ENDS IN EUROPE
PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS V-E DAY
President Truman officially proclaims V-E Day, as Germany submits her unconditional surrender to Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters in Reims.
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE NAZIS
Militant Germany is shown on the march against Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. The rush of the Panzer divisions through the Lowlands causing the downfall of France --the humiliating British retreat from the beaches of Dunkirk--the terrible air blitzes on London--the advance on Moscow, all these slashing moves portray the power-crazed Hitler and his Nazi cohorts in the full prime of their conquests and glory.
Pearl Harbor precipitates America into the global conflicts. Lend-Lease aid bolsters the Allies until D-Day! From that time on German power spirals downward. Her factories are laid waste, her railways are destroyed, her Luftwaffe is driven from the skies, and her troops are captured by the hundreds of thousands. The Nazi banner is struck to earth, nevermore to fly again in a world of peace loving nations.
N. Y. MILLIONS CELEBRATE
Overjoyed by the victory news from Europe. New Yorkers jubilantly celebrate in the canyons of Wall Street, and in the playground of the world--Times Square.

ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR NEWSPAPER PUBLICITY AND EXPLOITATION
U. S. S. FRANKLIN
(1st Pictures By Official Navy Cameramen)
Fighting a terrific battle sixty miles off the Japanese coast, the 27,000 ton carrier, USS Franklin, is struck with two, five hundred pound armor-piercing bombs released by an enemy pilot.
Immediately, loaded planes on the flight and hangar decks burst into flame--bombs, rockets and machine gun ammunition explode, turning the great war vessel into a dangerous, raging inferno.
Only the superhuman efforts of her crew save the gallant ship from utter destruction. Eleven hundred men are lost or injured. Many of the survivors owe their lives to the bravery of the chaplain, Lieut. Commander O'Callahan.
The Japs reported the Franklin sunk, but the battered and torn ship is safe in the Brooklyn Navy Yard after a twelve thousand mile voyage, via the Panama Canal. The heroic survivors are fittingly honored after suffering one of the most terrific ordeals in naval history.
WELCOME HOME!

AMERICANS RALLY
NEW YORK--"I Am An American Day" is celebrated in Central Park's Mall. A mammoth crowd--one and a half million strong is on hand. Everybody, including Mayor LaGuardia, is present on this great patriotic occasion.
