YANK GUNS CRUMBLE WESTWALL
In the snows of Northeastern Europe, huge, lumbering 105 and 155mm. howitzers lay down their curtains of fire on the Nazis. At Konzen, the Nazis seem immovable until Yank artillery destroys their observation post—a towering church steeple. Idle ack ack crews are pressed into service in the Battle of Hurtgen Forest.

THE MIRACLE OF SAIPAN
Saipan (1,500 miles below Tokio) was seized by the Americans in June of this year. Since that time the Seabees and Aviation Engineers have been industriously re-shaping the face of the coral island, laying out a tremendous airfield. Coral hills are blasted into particles, then “bull dozed” and trucked to the air field site, where they are rolled and hard packed. Then an asphalt surface is given the gigantic strip. In Washington, Gen Hap Arnold sends a B-29 Super-Fortress on its way. Next we see it arriving at Saipan, the first of a mighty air fleet whose exploits over Japan are already becoming daily occurrences.

BRITISH ENTER GERMANY
Gielenkirchen—pivotal Nazi fortress on the Cologne plain—is besieged by the British. Unending artillery barrages turn most of the town waste and rubble. When the Tommies enter the ruins, they encounter defiant German language signs stating—“We won’t capitulate.” But ironically, around the next corner, streams of Nazi prisoners are being marched along, and dazed German refugees are leaving for Holland.
ARMY—NEW GRID CHAMP
Baltimore, MD.—66,000 fans fill The Stadium to watch the annual Army-Navy football clash. The corps of the two schools fill the gridiron with their presence and their cheers, before game time.

Various villages, including Baseweiler, are bombarded, then entered. Many Yanks are wounded. Pursuing the scorched earth policy, the Nazis have applied the torch to many of the towns, causing the natives to band into volunteer fire departments, to save their homes.
THE ROAD TO MANILA
A huge carrier division steams towards Manila. After the pilots are briefed, they zoom into the air, and the Nips begin their attacks on our queenly flat-top giants. Hits and near hits are registered, but heavy ack ack fire drives the Japs away . . . and our bombers paste Manila severely.
