Other than newsreels, this is the first film (feature or short), relating to the United States’ entry into World War II, released after the Japanese sneak-attack on Pearl Harbor. It, in addition to newsreels clips from the cowardly bombing of Pearl Harbor, is comprised of clips from previous “March of Time” shorts such as “Crisis in the Pacific,” (Hong Kong’s defensive preparations); “Spoils of Conquest” (dealing with the Japanese invasion of the Dutch East Indies); and “The Phillipines - 1898-1941.”
