Fun old training film… basic c.1944!

Great stuff in the “beaten zone” at 1000, too.

Watching this I couldn't help but think my Daddy may have watched it too. He carried one of the "light machine guns", 30 cal, air cooled, bipod and shoulder stock. I don't know much more than that-he'd never talk about it.

And I guess they only used one narrator for every training and propaganda film they made in WW2.

Nah, a couple of 'em had Clark Gable!

There is one called “How to die, in one easy lesson”. Been watching these off and on all week.

This training film reminds me of a training film titled "Radiation Won't Harm You" that I watched while on active duty during the 1970's. I think they showed it to Veterans who participated in Nuclear weapon testing in the Bikini Islands. It was shown to us before we started NBC Warfare training.
