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.
