Released by the U.S. Government and the U.S. Navy’s Industrial Incentive Division, this WWII film reproduces a German newsreel “Fernbomber uber dem Atlantik” which showed dramatic images of the German Luftwaffe attacking an Allied convoy at sea. The point of the film (from an American perspective) was to inspire war workers to build more ships and supplies to “carry the fight to the enemy”. At 10:00, images are seen of ship building and the launching of multiple Liberty and / or Victory Ships.
