The British Ministry of Information and the U. S. Office of War Information produced this film of the Second World War from June 6, 1944 through the surrender of Germany on May 10, 1945.
There aren't many official credits on this winner of the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. The two uncredited directors are Garson Kanin and Carol Reed; Kanin claimed that as the uncredited producer, Dwight D. Eisenhower was the Oscar winner. Surely the estimated seven editors, the ten writers (including Joe Brown, Paddy Chayesfksy, and Peter Ustinov), performers who spoke the commentary and the purported memories, including Leslie Banks, Sam Levene, and Richard Attenborough, the war footage shot by, among other people, Russ Meyer, and the millions of Allied troops deserve praise.
