Japs Routed From Buna Stronghold!

Jungle warfare in New Guinea. Americans and Australians blasting the Japanese in the campaign to take Buna. From the turret of an American tank, our cameraman brings a dramatic record of war as it is fought in this wild jungle country. Cautiously troops advance against an unseen foe. For a month they've pushed forward across the Owen Stanley Mountains routing the Japanese from foxholes and pillboxes concealed in the jungle; firing, blasting at every moving leaf.

The objective at last. Buna mission is won. Southeastern New Guinea was an important Japanese stronghold in the South Pacific. From here they planned the invasion of Australia. Now their equipment, their bases are in Allied hands. For General Douglas MacArthur it is a victory of major importance. Taking terrific toll of the enemy, Australians and Americans met the Japanese on even terms and hurled the enemy back into the sea.
