The Stilwell Road & Submarine Warfare - Movie Download

Plot

Two WWII documentaries on one disc!

The Stilwell Road
1945
This World War II documentary, narrated by actor (and future U.S. President) Ronald Reagan, homes in on the China-India-Burma arena of the war. The Stilwell Road (conceived by American General Joseph Stilwell) was a stunning feat of engineering and brute force construction carried out by 63,000 men. Designed to create a truck supply line that would provision the Chinese army fighting the Japanese forces on its home front, it took twenty-six months, many lives and $150 million to build. The 478 mile road started in India, cut through the almost impenetrable jungles and mountains of Burma, and ended in China.

Submarine Warfare
1945
For those not familiar with US Navy Submarine Force of WWII, this documentary is an excellent introduction. After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the submarines of the Pacific fleet eventually would destroy Japan's merchant fleet and cripple their Navy. Comprising only 2% of the US Navy Fleet, submarines were responsible for sinking over 55% of all Japanese tonnage sunk during WWII.
