War on Wheels
"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).

The Enemy Strikes
This 1945 film intended for U.S. civilian audiences uses violent battlefield footage from the fall of 1944 to shame people back home who considered the war over and were returning to a pre-war lifestyle. Scenes show the liberation of Ardennes, France by Allied forces and the German counterattack in the following months. Shots of dead American soldiers are used by the narrator to show how much harder U.S. G.I.'s have it in Europe than those in America complaining about the high cost of goods. Footage recovered from the Nazis depicts German forces planning for and conducting what became known as the Battle of the Bulge.

Road to Berlin
<p><span>This film focuses on the many aspects of the wartime production and supply dissemination "chain", from creating goods to navigating the dangerous delivery of shipments. "A Nazi submarine 'wolf pack' racing to intercept a convoy carrying urgently needed supplies - and the race against time by those who handle these supplies and load the convoy - furnish the dramatic elements in this film. The picture brings out the importance of the many jobs, both big and small, performed by men and women who are vital links in the life line to the front and whose war work has received little publicity or praise." (Supplement to Visual Aids Catalog, Indiana University Extension Division, 1945, 15)</span></p>
