    Now I’d hate to be pedantic, but during this entire piece of wartime propaganda, the word “British” isn’t used once. Despite the fact that they had been fighting Rommel’s formidable Afrika Korps for months and forced him, disheveled, from the crucial Suez Canal, this rather jingoistically American feature completely ignores those efforts. Instead it focuses on some grandstanding of American might against the treacherous and duplicitous Vichy forces whilst deriding the “doddery old Petain” or local chieftains in Algeria and Tunisia whom it clearly suggests are only in it for themselves. How dare these beys conclude that since they didn’t actually invite anyone to invade their shores in the first place, they might as well live with the ones they are currently saddled with and avoid even more bloodshed. The logistics and planning come from Washington so don’t go looking for Montgomery, indeed don’t go looking for any signs of the grimness of that theatre of desert warfare at all because there isn’t any. This is all about the espionage and scheming, about diplomats and generals in air-conditioned offices at tables with maps. It’s frequent reference to a “United Nations” might have made sense were it not for equally frequent references to the “United States”. Either they were all united or they weren’t? The Italians are portrayed as little better than a collection of hapless clowns ripe for the picking - and that does no justice to their fortitude nor to that of those about to invade Sicily and beyond. The archive is all fairly standard newsreel stuff that is as likely to feature in a North African travelogue as a documentary about conflict, and I’m afraid I found this simplistic and disrespectful to those who’d been fighting for their freedom for years in this part of the world before Uncle Sam decided to get involved.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
