Review title: Signal Corps propaganda for the folks back home
Product review: I had high hopes for this video and ordered it as part of my research for a novel about the Aleutians war, and specifically the battle of Attu. I am hard of hearing and the sound quality is abysmal. Nor were there captions or subtitles and about all I could hear were vowels punctuated by an occasional consonant. The speaker sounded like he was announcing a horse race from the bottom of a deep metal vat, and there was very little footage that I found useful. Yes, I realize this was the technology of the time but captions would not have been that hard to understand. Nor was the second presentation that useful or even interesting. What has been of more use to me has been 1) Signal Corps photos and 2) Reardon's novel, Castner's Cutthroats, about the Alaska scouts. Both of those get five stars.
