Featured review
Huh???
This film got the USA into WWII???? Sheesh! That will be news to my Uncle who was serving in Pearl Harbor aboard the USS Nevada when the Japanese attacked. All these years he and the rest of the USA were pretty sure it was that surprise attack that got us into the war...not some short documentary. I suppose that the year before it may have helped us get more material to Great Britain and gear up the war time economy but it did not get us into the war one second earlier than the Japanese. It was however a very good short film showing the resolve of a nation mostly in the city of London having to deal with the nightly bombings. It was honest enough to show that Britain was also each night bombing Germany. The UK continued their night bombing until the end of the war. It was just as if not more devastating than that which the Luftwaffe poured on London.
