The Tanks Are Coming 1941 + The Rear Gunner 1943 DvdRips Avi Lee1001

A couple of WW2 recruitment shorts.



The Tanks Are Coming is a 1941 American Technicolor short film. It is primarily a recruitment movie, but can also be regarded as a propaganda movie or a documentary with some light relief. Like Dive Bomber (of the same year) it is a pre-Pearl Harbor movie, made with the co-operation of the relevant branch of the US armed forces, showing off US military material to the US public, in lavish Technicolor.



This material is shown in motion, both on the road and in the field; training equipment and methods are also featured.

REAR GUNNER(Warner Bros., April 10, 1943) Directed by Ray Enright. Starring Burgess Meredith, Ronald Reagan, Tom Neal and Dane Clark. Narrated by Knox Manning. A rousing recruitment film for the Army Air Corps w-ith Meredith as Pvt. Pee Wee Williams who goes to the Rear Gunner school and is ultimately decorated for bravery. This film is a great example of how Hollywood was part of the war effort.



This film manages to be both a morale booster and a recruiting film. And Burgess Meredith takes a very standard part and makes it special. We also get a brief but fascinating look at the kind of training given to US rear gunners.
