WW II: The Home Front Chronicles is an 8 DVD set that spans the years
1941 to 1945. From the opening 1941 documentary film Ring of Steel, which is
narrated by Spencer Tracy to the last film, Combat America (1945) narrated
by Clark Gable (and in many scenes too) you get the sense and feel of what
the American people were going through, the love for this country, the
pride, and yes, fear for the young men and women putting their lives on the
line.
However, there is a feeling throughout all the films that America would
prevail, we would win no matter what it took. That is the America, and the
people I will always remember and be thankful to. It makes me not only stand
a bit taller, but also proud to be an American. To see the sacrifices
our parents, grandparents and those still living from this greatest
generation went through, is humbling. Personally I think we have lost this
feeling, but then again that is just my opinion and what is so nice is that
I can be free to have an opinion. Thanks to them. Enjoy and watch the people
that made this country the great one it is today!
This series is mainly concerned with how the folks stateside supported
those overseas, their contribution and sacrifices and how they were an
integral part of the war effort.
Volume 6 runs over an hour.
With the work effort being the focus in the 1944 film, Men and Jobs
we see how the U.S. government tried to match every person to a job during
World War II. 8:46
What Makes a Battle?, a 1944 film, not only shows the strategy and
successes of the Marshall Islands battle in World War II, but how all of
America is part of the war effort. The people on the assembly lines to those
battling in the Pacific. Excellent war footage. 15:34
This 1944 film, To the People of the United States is a public
educational, semi-dramatic film starring Jean Hersholt on combating the
epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases, especially syphilis, in World War
II. There is a direct appeal for individual blood tests and urges public
discussion of the problem. There are cameos by Robert Mitchum and Noah Beery
(for those of you who don’t know, Jim Rockford's dad on The Rockford Files).
