Are those Chinese character's? I wonder who the audience was. A lot of those images are familiar as B&W footage/stills. |

Great footage. Very interesting to see the camouflaged vehicles and tanks in color. |

Fascinating to see how they have edited many of the sequences to motion smoothing. It creates a 3D effect, indeed some call it a Soap Opera appearance. Many find it distracting and some hate it (I do and groan every time I see it on a massive screen in a store). It can be switched off on your TV fortunately. I presume they have colourised many a B&W image and, if so, they have done it very well |

Thanks for sharing… its interesting to see what it could have been like in something other than B&W. |

Haven't jumped to the link to vidi it yet, but recall that the US Navy and Marine Corps photographers were given access to color film, unlike the other services, for all official purposes. So, until I see for myself, there is every chance some or all of this is authentic, rather than "colorized." TVAG |

Amazing filming. Who took the movies of the marines advancing toward him, with back to enemy. It is strange that it was possible to use flame throwers but not gas to get the enemy out of the caves. It seems to me that at least tear gas would have been useful. The next video of the parachute attack of Corregidor was also very interesting. I had heard of that as a sentence in history of pacific war, so nice to see the whole thing. |
