Why We Fight | comment |
Why We Fight is a seven-part series of World War II documentaries directed by Frank Capra (of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington fame). Created during the war, they served the dual purpose of educating American troops about the enemy and the causes behind the war, and raising morale. The basic idea Capra had was that Nazi propaganda films like Triumph of the Will was so effective that he decided the best way to answer them was to take those films, and twist them in such a way as to use the Axis' own messages to support the Allies.The films were quite effective, and were eventually released to the general public. The first, Prelude to War, received an Academy Award.The films are still interesting today for different reasons. On one hand, they provide genuine and valuable lessons on the origins and progress of the war. On the other hand, the movies are also a good example of old-timey racism and wartime paranoia as a well as a classic historical example of film propaganda.As works of the US government, the movies are in the public domain, and available online: Why We Fight - Prelude to War Why We Fight - The Nazis Strike Why We Fight - Divide and Conquer Why We Fight - The Battle of Britain Why We Fight - The Battle of Russia Why We Fight - The Battle of China Why We Fight - War Comes to AmericaSee also The Negro Soldier, a 43-minute documentary film produced by Capra, focusing on the role of black Americans in both the present war and America's previous military history.Not to be confused with Euegene Jarecki's 2015 documentary feature about the US military-industrial complex. | |

Why We Fight / int_3908cf5b | comment |
Un-Installment: War Comes to America was slated to be a two-parter, and the title card still includes "Part One". However, it was felt that a second part covering America's part in the war would be unnecessary, as people already knew about it from the news. It helped that the European side of World War II ended two months after the first part's release, with only Japan left to defeat. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
Why We Fight / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: This series having been made during World War II, many negative aspects of the Soviet Union are downplayed or glossed over. "The Battle of China" claims that the Chinese have never waged a war of aggression. In reality, they waged many; even if one were to discount the famously expansionist Yuan and Qing dynasties due to them being founded by non-Chinese conquerors, dynasties led by ethnic Han Chinese did wage aggressive wars such as the Ming conquest of Yunnan and war with Ceylon. | |

Blatant Lies | |
Why We Fight / int_40bb59d0 | comment |
Blatant Lies: The Axis nations used these intentionally, as a preliminary step to conquest, propaganda designed to confuse, divide and soften up their victims and thus make them easier to attack when the time came. This is visually represented by a radio tower, whose broadcast waves have the word "Lies" emanating out, while Walter Huston narrates the process dramatically... Ahead of his plan for German domination of Europe, Hitler made specific promises not to go after countries on his hit list. See also: Chronic Backstabbing Disorder. In The Nazis Strike, about the conquests of Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland... In Divide and Conquer, the same thing happens with Scandinavia and the Low Countries (and is preceded by a statement from Joseph Goebbels that stated Germany didn't want a war at all; it was Britain and France who caused all the trouble)... In War Comes to America, at the very moment Pearl Harbor was being attacked, a Japanese delegation hands American Secretary of State Hull a document accusing the United States of a litany of aggressions against Germany, Japan, and Italy, and ordered the country to desist and let the Axis nations have free reign, unchallenged. Hull recalls how he skimmed the document and called the Japanese delegation out on this: | |

Psycho Knife Nut: The Italian Blackshirts are shown brandishing their iconic daggers on a rally, used to demonstrate Fascist Italy's brutality and hatred of intellectualismnote Daggers were commonly used by the Arditi, WW1-era Italian shock troops who frequently had to engage in melee combat to break through the trenches. After WW1, many Arditi came to join Mussolini who then appropriated their symbols and aesthetics, including the dagger.. | |

Awakening the Sleeping Giant: War Comes to America details how America slowly comes out of its isolationist attitude. As the opinion of the American public changes in response to Axis aggression, the United States moves from nominal condemnation of the Axis to arms dealing with the Allies and rearmament, culminating in a full entry into the war after Pearl Harbor. | |

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: The basic set-up of Divide and Conquer. In the opening of the film, Hitler is said to have made promises of peace or non-aggression pacts with various countries. As each is invaded by Germany, the audience is reminded of the promises Hitler had made mere months earlier, and that the peoples of the invaded countries "will not forget." | |

Why We Fight / int_abad35b4 | comment |
Soundtrack Dissonance: After explaining the way of life in the Axis countries, Nazi marching scenes from Triumph of the Will are shown with the repetitive Defiliermarsch playing. After the melody has repeated a few times, the whole affair starts looking very silly. Similarly, in The Battle of China, the soundtrack makes liberal use of The March of the Volunteers, which was a Communist marching song (and now the national anthem of the People's Republic of China) in a film mostly lionizing Chiang's Nationalists. | |

Opposing Combat Philosophies | |
Why We Fight / int_b542cf17 | comment |
Opposing Combat Philosophies: Divide and Conquer proposes this as one of the reasons for France's quick defeat at the hands of Germany. Germany's commanders believed in concentrated, highly mobile assault forces. France's commanders believed in building massive, static fortifications on the border note that the Maginot Line expected to face a German offensive is a misconception, however. The line was expected to deter such an attack so that the Wehrmacht could be engaged in Belgium or Northern France. The French field army subsequently lost this battle . When German forces puncture the defensive lines by going through the Ardennes, France has no adequate response and is inevitably lost. Also, The Battle of Russia discusses the differences between Blitzkrieg and the Soviets' Deep Battle doctrine. | |

Dark Reprise: In War Comes to America, a instrumental version of My Country, 'Tis of Thee is played over an explanation of US history. Later, a dark version is played over scenes of a burning Pearl Harbor, morphing into a Triumphant Reprise during FDR's "Date of Infamy" speech. | |
