Call of Duty: Snowball Wars (Fort Delaware in Color during World War 2)

This video is 16mm film footage in color taken at Fort DuPont and surrounding area in 1941 by a member of the 261st Coast Artillery Battalion, Delaware Army National Guard. This digital copy of the original 16mm film was given to me by a descendant of the soldier, who served in the 261st during World War Two. This film features rare color 16mm footage from Fort Delaware on Pea Patch Island during the Winter of 1941-1942. Fort Delaware was built between 1846 and 1860 and served as a POW camp for captured confederates during the American Civil War. The remained an active military post until 1944-1945.The site is now a Delaware State Park.
