Heritage for the People is considered Public Doman To the best of our knowledge there is no copyright to the film. There is no copyright notice on the film itself nor any production credits which indicates to me that the maker of the film wanted the widest possible dissemination w/o having to deal with clearances. From our shot card it seems that the source of most of the footage in the sectioon on JFK was USIA. The footage of the libraries might have been commissioned specifically for the film. The film did get wide distribution, by the way. We have versions of it in 8 different languages. I'd say that NLE can furnish a dub w/o any worry. Allan Goodrich NLK

Reel 1: PRELUDE TO WAR The surrender at Rheims, France ended the major phase of the greatest military struggle in the history of man. Film dissolves from surrender ceremony to Hitler during his early years of power, covers the rise of Naziism through the Munich conference to the attack on Poland, England's declaration of war, the fall of France, Dunkirk and the German air blitz on England in the historic Battle of Britain.
AMERICA'S UNPREPAREDNESS In 1940, the US finally became sufficiently concerned about the state of her military forces to institute the first peace time draft in American history. Film covers the various steps in the transformation of civilian draftees into soldiers and illustrates the sorry state of our 1941 Army with its wooden guns and trucks marked "tank". It ends with Americans at a football game on Sunday December 7, 1941, dissolving into the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and President Roosevelt's address to Congress recommending a declaration of war.
AMERICA GOES TO WAR With the US now actively at war with Germany and Japan, America went about the gigantic job of converting from a peacetime to a wartime basis. From President Roosevelt's speech on the conduct of the war, the film investigates the problem of which one of our two principal enemies must be dealt with first. Churchill's visit to Washington in December, 1941, to confer with President Roosevelt is also pictured. With the decision to concentrate on defeating Germany first, thousands of American troops were sent to England, to prepare to meet the Nazis on the battlefield. A U-boat attack on an Allied transport is included (the sequence of the actual attack from the U-boat is captured enemy film). Appointed head of the European Theater of Operations, General Eisenhower arrives in England in mid-1942 to begin planning for the gigantic job of storming the Nazi Fortress of Europe.
Reel 2: PLATFORM FOR INVASION General Eisenhower's first job was to collect a working team, to assist him in the job of defeating the Nazis. American troops in England were being prepared psychologically, as well as physically for their first experience in battle. The big problem for the Allied governments was where to attack the Nazi enemy first. The decision to strike first at North Africa was followed quickly by the organization and departure from America and England of the mightiest invasion armada in history, up to that date. The film concludes with a consideration of the territory which Allied forces would soon be invading, and a look at the North African French people, who might well resist the Allied landings. Before the troops stormed the North African beaches, General Eisenhower moved his headquarters to Gibraltar, where he watched part of the invasion fleet sail by on its way to the assault.
AFRICA: OUR FIRST OFFENSIVE Three parts of the invasion fleet (from America and England) proceed across the Atlantic to their destinations along the coast of North Africa--Algiers, Oran and Casablanca. On board are American GIs and British Tommies, most of whom will be going into battle for the first time. Behind this giant invasion armada stands America's industrial production. The film flashes back briefly to General Brehon Somervell, Chief of the Army's Service of Supply and explores American war industry. Returning to the invasion convoys, the film outlines the strategy of the three-pronged assault, and follows the troops ashore at each place. The beachheads are quickly secured, and the battle against the Nazis is begun.
THE CAMPAIGN The French political situation in North Africa greatly complicated the Allied progress of the war against the Nazis. The influence of Marshal Petain, Vichy French leader, was still dominant in North Africa, and General Giraud, on whom the Allies were counting to swing public opinion, was virtually ignored. The Allies' deal with Vichyite Admiral Darlan, in command of all French fighting forces in North Africa which confused and irritated many Americans and Britons is explained. Later, while General Eisenhower was visiting the forward areas to which our troops had progressed in their drive eastward toward the Nazis, Admiral Darlan was assassinated in Algiers, and the General returned for his funeral. The British First Army continued without letup its attack. The attempt to reach Tunis before the Nazis could bring sizable reinforcements across the Mediterranean was thwarted, mostly because of the bad weather. The Allied attack was temporarily stalled in the North African mud. General Eisenhower decided to postpone the attack against the Nazi positions in Tunisia. At Casablanca, Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt met in a historic meeting which also served to bring together General Giraud, Darlan's successor in North Africa, and General de Gaulle, head of the Free French. At the meeting of the Joint chiefs of Staff at Casablanca, the "unconditional surrender" demanded of Nazi Germany was announced.
Reel 3: ROMMEL ROUTED While the Allied attack against the enemy in North Africa was held up by the impossible weather, General Sir Harold Alexander became Deputy Commander of the Allied Forces, under General Eisenhower. During January the Allies completed preparations for the final assault aimed at driving the Nazis from North Africa. But the enemy attacked in force at Gafsa and Faid, and advanced as far as Kasserine Pass, where the Allies suffered a major defeat. The German drive was finally stopped near the now famous pass, and the Allies once again seized the offensive. The Americans of the Second Corps finally joined forces with the British Eighth Army, which had been fighting the Nazis in the desert for many months, and the Allies presented a single, overpowering fighting force against the enemy's weakening positions. American GIs took Hill 609, the last enemy stronghold of any proportions, and the Allies finally swept into Tunis. General Eisenhower reviewed the victory parade, then departed for Malta, to begin planning for operation Husky, the capture of Sicily.
OPERATION HUSKY The Casablanca Conference had directed that the next campaign should be in Sicily. The invasion platform was North Africa, and Allied air forces undertook the steady bombing of Pantelleria and Gozo, islands lying between North Africa and Sicily. Both islands were captured with ease, and an air strip built and put into operation on Gozo. Just before the scheduled invasion of Sicily, the weather grew worse, but the landings were made successfully, in spite of heavy seas. The enemy had expected an Allied landing at the western end of the island, where he had massed his strength; consequently, the landing on the southeastern shore was relatively easy. But once landed, the Allies shortly met a determined Nazi counterattack. Moving with characteristic speed, General Patton's Seventh Army crossed the island and seized Palermo only twelve days after the landings. The British Eighth Army moved up the east coast, and advanced to positions in front of Mt. Etna, heavily defended by Nazis. In one of the most fiercely fought smaller engagements of the war, American GIs won the battle of Troina, preparing the way for the ultimate capture of the entire island at Messina, separated from the continent of Europe by only a narrow strait.
ASSAULT ON ITALY General Montgomery slipped two divisions of his British Eighth Army across Messina Straits and the invasion of the European continent was an accomplished fact. Soon afterward, the American Fifth Army, under General Clark, landed at Salerno. On the same day, the Italian surrender to the Allies was announced. Four days later, the Nazis, under Field Marshal Kesselring, counter attacked in force. The US Fifth withstood the German assault successfully, and a few days later joined forces with Montgomery's men coming up the toe and shin of the Italian boot. On October 1, 1943, the Allies took Naples which the Germans left devastated. The Allies quickly went to work on supervising the reconstruction of the city, and soon had the harbor facilities in operating condition. The film concludes with the Cairo Conference, followed by a sequence of General Eisenhower conferring with President Roosevelt in Sicily about the post-war occupation of Germany.
Reel 4: RISE AND FALL OF A DICTATOR This film is a consideration of the political overtones which were involved in Italy's participation in the war. Following Marshal Badoglio's appointment to succeed Mussolini, the film flashes back to the beginnings of Fascist rule in Italy, the Fascist march on Rome in 1922, and the succession of small wars won by the Duce's troops. As the war progressed, Hitler and Mussolini, co-conspirators, met more often at their rendezvous at the Brenner Pass in the Alps to map their strategy. Just as France was about to succumb to Germany, Italy declared war on France and won another hollow victory after a pointless campaign in the mountains between France and Italy. Flashing back to Mussolini's overthrow, as the Allies advanced in Sicily, the film concludes with enemy films of Mussolini's escape from his Italian captors in his mountain prison and arrival in Germany, where he was warmly greeted by Hitler; scenes of the digging out of the bodies of Italians killed by the Nazis in the Ardeatine Caves; and the public demonstration against the corpse of Mussolini in Milan.
THE GI: HERO OF THE WAR The Italian campaign was termed by most GIs as the toughest campaign in the European Theater. A GI now in a veterans' hospital reminisces, over scenes of the Italian campaign, on the elements which made it such a tough campaign. Eisenhower discusses the psychology of the fighting men, the problem of morale, the loneliness of the battlefield, the qualities of the trained American soldier, the urgent need for periods of rest from battle, and the aid to morale of visits of commanding officers. The GI corporal recalls the scenes which stand out most vividly in his mind--the day the first beer was issued in Italy, listening to Command Performance between periods in the front lines, and always the more discouraging aspects of the Italian campaign--the Nazi mines, trenchfoot, the patrols in enemy held territory, and the endless pounding by Nazi artillery.
VICTORY IN ITALY The film opens with Eisenhower's tour of the Italian front before Christmas, 1943, and documents the difficulty of keeping passage open across rivers such as the Volturno. Eisenhower then left for Tunisia, to complete plans for a flanking invasion at Anzio, on the Italian coast north of the Allied front. The American Sixth Corps landed at Anzio on January 22, 1944 and clung to their beachhead under one of the heaviest Nazi counterattacks of the war. The installment concludes with Eisenhower in England, as Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Forces, at work on the monumental job of planning the long awaited invasion across the channel--Operation Overlord.
Reel 5: PREPARATION FOR INVASION Eisenhower starts intensive planning for the great cross channel invasion of the Nazi fortress of Europe. Film highlights the importance, to German war production, of the Ruhr area, shows, via captured enemy film, the Germans strengthening their defenses along the French Coast. In England, thousands of troops and large quantities of equipment vital to the success of the assault arrived, as the time for the invasion drew near. After a postponement of one day because of very bad weather, the airborne troops took off and the invasion fleet shoved off, and the greatest moment in World War II was only hours away.
D-DAY June 6, 1944 and the great cross channel invasion is finally a reality. Film includes scenes of the assault landings against German resistance, the heavy casualties on several of the beaches, and the beginnings of the phase of the European war known as the Battle of the Beachhead. On D-plus-one, Eisenhower and Admiral Ramsay inspect the beaches from a ship offshore.
BEACHHEAD AND BREAKTHROUGH Artificial harbors, known as "Mulberries" were put into place and used in the overwhelming task of unloading the supplies necessary for the first stages of our campaign against the Nazis in France. General Eisenhower, Admiral King, General Arnold, and members of their staffs visited the beaches during the first week following the assault landing. At this point, the Germans began to bombard England with their V-1 rocket bombs, and they rushed experiments on their larger V-2s. A hurricane hit the invasion beaches and caused great damage to Allied ships and equipment. The Allies fought their way to the valuable port of Cherbourg, which finally fell after a strong Nazi defending action. To the east, the Allies broke out of St. Lo and swept south. The Nazis counterattacked in force at Mortain.
Reel 6: LIBERATION OF PARIS The German counter attack against the Allied position at Mortain was repulsed with the help of RAF rocket firing Typhoons. The Allies then pushed forward on two fronts to form a giant pincers, with the Canadian First Army on the north, and the US Third Army on the south. The German stand against the northern force was made at Falaise, while on the south Patton's Third Army stormed through Argentan. After a major battle near Falaise, the Canadian First Army pushed south through Falaise, and closed the gap, joining forces with Patton's Third Army near Chambois. More than 100,000 German troops were caught in the Falaise pocket. Another Allied force cleaned out the Brittany peninsula, after some hard fighting. meanwhile, the Allies drew close to Paris. The film shows the French capital under Nazi occupation, including the activities of the French underground. With the Allies less than a hundred kilometers from Paris, the French Forces of the interior struck in Paris, starting a revolt which lasted through the first days of Allied occupation. First entry into Paris was made by General LeClerc's French Second Division. The American Fourth Division was later brought in to help subdue the frenzied, last ditch Nazi defense. The Germans finally surrendered, after several days of sniping, but with the arrival of General de Gaulle a new outburst of shooting from the rooftops began, this time by French collaborationist and Vichy militiamen.
The following day, Eisenhower and General Bradley visited Paris, but left hastily when they were mobbed by the enthusiastic French populace. The film concludes with the march of American troops through Paris on their way to the front.
PURSUIT The invasion of southern France opens the film, which documents the Allied campaign up the Rhine Valley and the swift advance of Patton's Third Army. Highlighted is the capture of German troops, the Allied thrusts against and in pursuit of the enemy all along the front, the massive airborne operation in the Northern sector, the battle in the Hurtgen Forest and the Allied advance to the western fringes of the famed Siefgried Line.
THE BATTLE OF SUPPLY The forward movement of our forces into Germany was greatly retarded by our inadequate lines of communication. To sustain and intensify the mighty Allied military offensive required uninterrupted supply of ammunition and continuous delivery of the engines of war. Film documents the outstanding job performed by the Army's Services of Supply, against serious obstacles. The laying of "Pluto" lines, flexible pipe, along the floor of the channel and across the western part of the European continent up to the front is pictured in this film. More than 120 million gallons of gasoline flowed through these lines. Another vital supply operation was the work of the Red Ball Express, a truck delivery route which covered 700 miles, from the western European port cities to the fronts. one of the principal ports, necessary to the success of the job of the Supply Service, was Antwerp, seized by the Allies in September, 1944. Before the port could be used by the Allies, the approaches to the Scheldt Estuary had to be captured. Film records the battle for Walcheren Island. This installment also includes a sequence on the Nazis' use of the V-1 Rockets and their preparatory work on the V-2.
Reel 7: THE AIR WAR This film records the story of our air offensive against the Nazis, after the RAF had successfully warded off the Luftwaffe's all out attack on England, in the Battle of Britain. The first low level Allied bombing of an important enemy target, the raid on Ploesti, in August 1943, is pictured in this installment. Round the clock bombing with RAF operating at night and AAF in the daytime. A typical strategic bombing mission against a major Nazi war installation is also included. This sequence, a raid on Anklam in October 1943, follows the course of the mission from the selection of the objective, through the briefing, tuning up through the various phases of the flight to the target and return, concluding with the usual careful assessments of losses and results accomplished. Film stresses the vital part in the victory in Europe played by the Allied Air Forces.
THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE As the winter of 1944-45 approached, the Germans secretly massed their forces for a surprise attack in great strength against the Allied lines in the Ardennes Forest. The subsequent Battle of the Bulge, a blow of staggering proportions, is shown in films taken by both the Allies and the Nazis, on opposite sides of the battle line. After a month of the stiffest fighting since D-Day, the Nazis were finally driven back to their original positions. Casualties were extremely heavy. The Allies were now embarked on their final drive into the heart of the enemy's homeland.
CROSSING THE RHINE With the Germans pushed back to their original positions, which they held before the Battle of the Bulge, the Allies concentrated on clearing out all Nazi troops west of the Rhine. This difficult assignment was carried out by three Allied Army groups, under the command of Field Marshal Montgomery and Generals Bradley and Devers. The film moves briefly to the Nazis' eastern front, where the Russians drove them back 300 miles in 60 days. The Allied attack to the west progressed rapidly, and the crossing of the Rhine was soon made at a number of points. The Ludendorff Bridge across the Rhine at Remagen was captured intact by American soldiers. The first treadway bridge across the Rhine, a 330 yard span, was completed by American engineers in ten and a quarter hours. To the north, the crossing by Montgomery's forces was preceded by an airborne landing, one of the most successful of all such operations carried out throughout the war. A firm foothold was established on the east bank of the river. Film ends with Prime minister Churchill making the crossing and scrambling up the eastern bank. The stage was now set for the final drive against the cornered Nazis.
Reel 8: OVERRUNNING GERMANY The western Allies and the Russians were forcing the Nazis into a hopeless position in central Germany. Film documents the Allied broadcasts to the German people, advising them to surrender, the double envelopment of the vital Ruhr area by the western Allies, and the final phase of the battle for Europe. Eisenhower is pictured during his first visit to a Nazi horror camp. With the Allies and the Russians drawing within range of each other, both forces had to use extreme caution to keep from firing into the other's lines. Russian liaison officers served with the Western Allied force, to keep the Soviet commanders informed of the progress of British and American front line troops. On April 25th, Russian and American units met at the Elbe, the first step in the final dissolution of the German nation. Film concludes with scenes of the savage battle for Berlin, with the Russians seizing the city from the last, stubborn Nazi defenders, followed by the Nazi surrenders at Caserta, Luneberg Heath and Rheims.
VICTORY'S AFTERMATH This installment concerns the lessons we learned from the war--military, diplomatic, and psychological. The first lesson the General mentions is proof that war can be waged effectively by a coalition of nations. Other subjects examined by Eisenhower in this film are the role of the soldier as the fundamental agent in military success, the growing influence of air power in warfare, the transformation of the face of war by the invention of new, deadlier weapons (with a brief flashback to the most critical experiment of all--the dropping of the bomb at Alamogordo, New Mexico), and concluding with a consideration of the possibility of insuring peace by the maintenance of real and respectable strength--morally, economically, and militarily.
AMERICAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT The demanding problem of administration of captured cities and towns had to be met as soon as the GIs had done their job. This important task fell to American Military Government Officers. Film opens with AMG men taking over from the troops as soon as Cologne was won. Their job included such varied duties as disinfecting the population to screening them for pro-Nazis. President Truman's speech in Berlin at the time of the Potsdam Conference is included--a speech in which he voiced his hopes for the future peace of the world and the part the US would play in it. The conference itself--featuring the meeting of the top government leaders of the three principal powers: the US, Great Britain, and Russia--is also pictured. Film continues with the splitting of Germany into four parts at an Allied Control Council conference, and the Council's job of de- Nazifying the country and coordinated activities in the four zones. A flashback sequence on the concentration camps is included, and the installment concludes with the Nuremberg Trials and sentencing of the top Nazi war criminals.
Reel 9: RUSSIA This chapter deals with Eisenhower's trip to Russia and his estimate of the Russians as post-World War II power. Pictorially, the film's highlights include the Nazi surrender in Berlin to the Russians, the Yalta Conference, with Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin conferring, Eisenhower and Marshal Zhukov meeting in Berlin when the four-power rule of Germany first went into effect, plus a sequence of the Red Army in action during the war, and the Russian people at work in the ruins of their devastated cities. This installment ends with General Eisenhower in Moscow, standing alongside Stalin and the members of the Politburo, on Lenin's tomb, reviewing a gigantic demonstration in Red Square.
Reels 10: REVIEW This final installment is a review of the entire series. Highspots included deal with the rise of Naziism, concluding with the burning of London; President Roosevelt's declaration of war and the first joint Allied campaign--in North Africa; the campaign onto the European continent, across Sicily to Italy; the planning and execution of the mighty invasion of the coast of France; D-Day; the Liberation of Paris; the Battle of the Bulge; Crossing of the Rhine; and meeting with the Russians at the Elbe. Eisenhower concludes with a speech made at the surrender of the Nazis at Rhiems on May 7, 1945.

Walter Cronkite reports on Operation Market Garden, September 17-25, 1944. Commentary by Lewis Brereton, R.E. Urquhart, Henry Knap, Kurt Student, and J.D. Frost. Market Garden was the largest airborne operation in history. Conceived by Field Marshal Montgomery, it was designed to penetrate across the Rhine on a single narrow front outflanking the Siegfried Line, capturing the Ruhr, and ending the war by Christmas.
Airborne units of the American 101st and 82nd were to drop at Einhoven and Nijmegen with units of British First Army dropping at Arnhem. The British 2nd Army's XXX Corps was to push overland and relieve these units. The operation failed due to poor intelligence, poor communication, the inability of XXX Corps to keep on schedule, and probably most importantly because the British lst Airborne was dropped 5 to 8 miles from their objective (the Rhine bridges at Arnhem). Only one battalion was able to get to the bridge. The rest of the British units were pinned down near Oosterbeck and were evacuated on the night of the 25th.
