Just saw end of Warner Bros. 1941 (?) pre-ww2 propaganda film. Everyone wearing
doughboy helmets. Talk about jingoistic chest pounding!
Title, I think, was "Tanks are Coming." 10-hut Bill Str.
Catch this, name for jeep was >>>>>> BLITZ BUGGY <<<<<<<<<
There were 9 & 14 ton tanks, one of which probably the Stuart. Engine shots seemed
like dual Cadillac flatheads. Quick shot of one rounded-turret Sherman... was,
maybe, 14-tonner's replacement
Showed a scout car w. 75 mm howitzer, Chev 6x6s, 0.5 tracks, etc. Also showed a tank
group where but one had a radio whip (mayvbe a SCR245 underneath?)
Bet this was shown over 'n over @ Ft. Knox
It was Turner Classic Movies @ 8:20A today. A filler following a piece about nurses
on Phillipines b4 "I shall Return Mac" delivered.
