Opens with shot looking down from hill to plain below and in distance; a couple French soldiers running through brush downhill. CU rocks and broken wood; rubble; bombs sending up smoke higher up on hill 4 grimy looking French soldiers. Looking down at ruins of bombed village; part of church; soldiers coming up hill through rubble; pan across more of ruins French soldiers walking through ditch; one carries shovel.
Then scenes of soldiers in very primitive trench accommodations; pan to graves with wooden crosses stuck in the earth. Death; casualties. Looking down on a larger village; not bombed! Pan across the town; with farms in distance. CU girl with huge hair ribbon; holding U.S. flag. Another panning shot looking down into the valley; with lots of houses and other buildings; farms etc. looks like farming area. Actually I suppose this could be Alsace filmed by someone who sneaked up on it! Also on; ON 419; includes extra shot at beginning of men loading some sort of tripods (gun stands?) onto truck.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
