BBC - 20th Century
Battlefields - Vietnam 1968
- Part of a BBC series
broadcast in the 1980s. Provides an excellent primer on the progress
of the Vietnam War, with details on several key battles. Great for
kids, as the footage includes avatars of helicopters and troop
movements; views more like a video game than a movie.

Private SNAFU - Spies
-
An effort of the Army Signal Corps during WWII, the Private SNAFU
series helped make sure everyone knew what was expected of them. The

had spent their entire life on the farm before joining the Army
quickly learned how life away from the cows, chickens, and Mom
worked in the real world.

Vietnam – Know Your Enemy

were, how they worked, and what one should expect when one came up
against them in combat. Interestingly, the footage used to
underscore the message came from captured video produced by the

would have called them: Charlie. The movie was produced to
train new US troops on first arrival in Vietnam Length: 00.18.23 |

WWII Poster
Collection
-
A collection of 74 of some of the best home
front posters from WWII. Designed to rally the country behind the
war effort, these posters are icons of the period. Some tell us what
to do, others remind us what our allies look like (e.g. not
mistaking a Dutch seaman for a German, or a Chinese fighter for a
Jap), while still others simply try to lift our spirits. In today's
world, where we are fighting 2+ wars at the same time, perhaps the
nation could use a few 15 second commercials each day, to remind us
that we need to support those who fight our wars for us. |
