Soviet Army Hurls Back Nazis on 2,000 Mile Front [Etc.]

This 1943 newsreel anthology, likely from a U.S. or Allied source, packs six WWII vignettes into a black-and-white showcase of global resolve. Part 1 thrusts viewers to the Eastern Front: Soviet troops surge across a 2,000-mile line, reclaiming villages with tanks and artillery rumbling, while in the Black Sea, a Russian ship weathers German bombs and a U-boat succumbs to depth charges. Part 2 shifts to Canada—a furloughed soldier swaps rifle for pickaxe, mining coal to fuel steel plants and factories, grit etched in every swing. Part 3 treks to India: elephants and native bearers haul supplies alongside U.S. planes, a surreal lifeline through jungles. Part 4 honors Australian veterans parading in Sydney, their weathered faces saluted by crowds. Part 5 aids North African civilians—food, medicine, and clothes handed out amid rubble. Part 6 soars over New Guinea: B-24 Liberators pound Japanese airfields, P-38s weaving through peaks in escort. A fast-paced, multi-front tribute to 1943’s turning tide, it’s wartime grit in sharp focus.
