 a newsreel for the first time. Those almost legendary figures, the Chindits. Masters in guerrilla warfare, they've taught the Japanese to fear the Swiss striking columns of elusive fighting men who wage war after their own fashion deep in the Burma jungle. When it's under General Stillwell, move up to join forces with the Chindits. Dense forests, mules replace mechanical transport. They carry the supplies for the foot-slugging infantry. Bitter fighting, the Chinese drove the Japs out of Mugong railway station and joined the Chindits. This was a great moment in the history of the Burma war and was celebrated by swapping hats. Final drive against the Jap positions. Fort, the Japs pulled out of the town. Mugong had fallen. That's the name for the Guardian statues which stand at the steps of Burmese Pagodas, a name from legend that's become flesh and blood, living guardians of Burma's liberty. Columns of Allied armour are encircling the German armies remaining in northern France, both above and below Paris. Now with Paris freed, the best roads in France are open to the swift and maneuverable tanks of the Allied spearheads. Columns go flail tanks to explode mines sewn in the roads by the retreating Nazis. Feelings of German troops who fought their way out of the blazing gateways from Normandy and Brittany, only to find themselves on hemmed in roads blasted ceaselessly by Allied aircraft. Disruption of the German supply line is a major factor in the defeat of the enemy. As on land, so at sea. Here aircraft of coastal command are attacking an enemy convoy off Heligoland. Nine merchant ships escorted by more than 30 fighting vessels. Cannon shells, rockets and torpedoes ripped into the ships. Four merchantmen were torpedoed. Five escort ships were left burning furiously. Command of the air, the Allies can move their spearheads rapidly, with a certain knowledge that their supply system won't be interfered with by the Luftwaffe. The cumulative effects of the great bomb loads being dropped day and night on the Nazi war weapons machine must be devastating. In a few minutes, the Allied bombers destroy what it's taken the Germans months to rebuild. Repeatedly outflanked, the German soldiers have little choice. They can either retreat to their homeland for protection or join over 400,000 of their companions in death or surrender. Germans to surrender, millions of such leaflets are dropped by the RAF. Allied tanks are followed by infantry for the job of carry out nests of snipers left hidden by the Nazis. Pictures show Allied straffing planes in action. Choking last minute efforts by the Germans to bring supplies and reinforcements into the battle area. Hanging destructive close action weapons yet evolved. France started with the Normandy landings. The German armies on the western front numbered over a million men. Today it's certain that only a small fraction of that once powerful force will be able to reach the frontiers of Germany. And over all that land of men and women who boasted they'd rule the world is the mounting thunder of a mighty and still growing air force.
