Tunisian Victory

Tunisian Victory is an Anglo-American propaganda film about the victories in the North Africa Campaign.

The film follows both armies from the planning of Operation Torch / Operation Acrobat to the liberation of Tunis. Interspersed in the pure documentary format are the narrative voices of an American and a British soldier (voiced by Burgess Meredith and Bernard Miles respectively), recounting their experience in the campaign. The British and American talk separately until the end of the film when they have a dialogue, agree to co-operate after the end of the war, with the other Allied nations to create a more just and peaceful post-war order.

The film was intended as a follow-up to the successful 1943 British documentary film Desert Victory. Frederic Kromes article from The Historian Tunisian Victory and Anglo-American Film Propaganda in World War II details the acrimony between the British and US film makers on the project. Most of the actual American combat footage taken during Operation Torch was destroyed when the ship carrying it was sunk, requiring many battle scenes to be reshot in America by director John Huston.

@scottweise18 Huh, For some reason That was the first movie that came to mind. Sorry.

[scottweise18]

@NottheFacePlease No it wasnt . It was definitely the British and it wasnt Scotland the Brave .

[NottheFacePlease]

@scottweise18 It was probably Patton, and it was probably Scotland the Brave

[Peorhum]

@scottweise18 seen a few such shows and movies and they have a few tunes to pick from but certainly Bluebonet is a favourite. I would google or youtube search for bluebonet and or bagpipes, pipe and drums, martial music. Good luck

[scottweise18]

Does anyone know, if you've ever seen the documentary World of War and the Desert episode where the British are playing their bagpipes and marching down a street playing that bagpipes music, I wanna know what that music is called theyre playing .

@rageatm111 lol you have said the right thing YOU PEOPLE IGNORANT OF WW2 LET THIS BE KNOWN WITHOUT AMERICA EUROPE WOULD BE RENAME TO HITLEREURO,bloody hell the Russian soldiers are eating US supplied food the Russian soldiers were HUNGRY Until USA decided to help Russia SO THEY CAN FIGHT and just let the Russian soldiers attack blindly under the order of evil Stalin, USA send millions of economic aid and military aid to Russia and England,if USA did not enter the war there was no WEsternFront

[ceboym]

@jto1916 hey hey the Russian alone can not win the war Germany is fighting 2 front in East against the russian and in the West against the American, British, cnandian, french, commomweal t countries it on only one front alone in the east the Russina can not win the war no way, you are the one that have to read the the authenticated WW2 european campaign, the American helps a lots they give military hardware and economic aid , the russina soldiers are eating american food dont you know that?

[ehunter2]

The USA went from Normandy to victory in 9 months. It took the Russians

4 years to reclaim what the Germans had won over 6 months. Furthermore the

Russian lack or planning, intelligence and regard for human life cost them

millions of lives needlessly. Then of course is the matter of victory for Communism and the enslavement of Eastern Europe for 50 years.

[jto1916]

@rageatm111 Russia von the european war - not the US. They just put icing on the cake. Read the history and you'll learn.

[Movegas1]

I think that comment us propaganda in itself meant to stir up anti-american rhetoric on the message boards, been seeing that alot lately....

[Mapanatl]

@rageatm111 Aaah Shut up Idiot! WTF do you know about "us"???

you probably were not even born. the US recruited the entire HOLLYWOOD to make propaganda films. professionally. That just shows how much your really know about "Our Country"

Go get an education then come back when you can make an intelligent comment.

[rageatm111]

Our country (U.S.A) never needed "propaganda" films. We knew we were fighting a just war. If it wasn't for us, Europe would have been re-named Hitlerville.
