"War on Wheels" is described as a confidential industrial film bulletin from Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson to the those involved in the production of tanks. "Directed principally to the men and women of automotive industries to show them the combat performance of the vehicles they have built. What it took to get a mechanized convoy through in the North African campaign serves as an illustration." (Supplement to Visual Aids Catalog, Indiana University Extension Division, 16). Portrays an American truck convoy ambushed by German tanks and rescued by group of United States medium tanks. Compares the mechanized strengths of the Axis powers versus those of the United States.

They Deliver the Goods
This film depicts the details of the workflow in supply chain that routes wartime provisions and weaponry to soldiers in the South Pacific, and encourages civilians to do their part in facilitating production. "How our fighting equipment gets through to our fighting men in quantity and on time. The mountains of supplies for combat loaded at ports of embarkation are unloaded under combat conditions and under fire in the South Pacific. From behind-the-lines General Supply Depots they are moved through jungle swamps to advance bases, to the firing lines. The never-ending battle of supply is graphically told in these pictures." (Supplement to Visual Aids Catalog, Indiana University Extension Division, May 1945, 15)

When Work is Done
<span>During the War, people from rural parts of the country moved to cities to take advantage of new jobs available at factories, shipyards, and other plants. This film promotes ways toward a healthy transition during wartime as these new communities expanded and grew. "Showing how the people of Sylacauga (Ala.) provided recreation for war worker who had come to work and live there." ("Current Film News," Educational Screen, December, 1943, 404). By highlighting this community as an exemplar, the film demonstrates how to welcome new members of a town, be it at work, at lunchtime, or in after work recreational activities such as dances, sports, and more.<br /></span>

The War Activities Committee of The Motion Picture Industry: Exhibited and Distributed by
Troop Train
"[T]his short is easily one of the best yet turned out by that skilled Government agency [the Office of War Information Film Unit]. It pulsates with action, inspiration for every American, and is full of drama, human interest and delightfully natural humor. Its story recounts the transportation of a U.S. Army Motorized Division from a coastal area to a far-off destination in the country. Eye-filling and thrilling are the scenes of loading heavy and light tanks, motor vehicles, motorcycles, et al, with special emphasis placed on the division's personnel during the long rail track." ("Reviews of New Films," Film Daily, February 10, 1943, 5)

War Activities Committee Motion Picture Industry: Distributed and Exhibited Under Auspices of
Three Cities
Uses the experiences of three different American cities to examine "how democracy is doing in the midst of war." Shows how workers in each of the cities solved wartime living problems in 1944: a dock worker in Norfolk, Virginia moved his family to an unfinished housing development to be closer to the shipyards where they help set up a new school; workers at an automobile plant in Detroit, who got around the housing shortage by purchasing mobile homes where the close quarters make it hard for night-shift workers to sleep during the day, build a recreational center for local children; and in Ogden, Utah civilians worked all day on Sunday to help out the Army's stockyards. In all three instances the film connects these current activities with touchstones of rural American culture including pioneer settlers and barn dances.

Into Battle No. 4: These are the Men
This film, written and narrated by poet Dylan Thomas, was produced by Strand Films. Strand employed Thomas to script several British propaganda films that were then released by the British Ministry of Information. "These Are the Men" takes Leni Riefenstahl's footage from the Nüremberg speeches of the Nazi Leaders and superimposes English "translations" over a set of orations in English "in which Hitler, Goebbels, Göering, Streicher and Hess report their sins and mistakes as frankly as if they were victims of one of those notorious 'confession drugs'." (Documentary News Letter, March 1943, 195.)
