About this listen

 World War II newsreels often included sounds such as the hum of motors, the whistling of bombs, and explosions, but these sounds were rarely authenticated as field recordings. Here are some other things to know about World War II newsreels:









  • Sound newsreels
    The arrival of sound newsreels in 1929 changed the way people experienced news and armed conflict.









  • Propaganda
    Newsreels were used to spread propaganda, with countries carefully editing news reports to combine propaganda and straight news.









  • The United States Office of War Information
    The OWI produced a series of 267 newsreels called The United Newsreel that were shown to US audiences and overseas. These newsreels included footage from the US military.









  • The Nazi Party
    The Nazi Party used radio receivers to transmit political propaganda to German troops. They also used films for entertainment and indoctrination.









  • Charlie and His Orchestra
    Goebbels commissioned a swing band to supply propaganda to British and American troops over the radio.
