:55:01
are pushing American
infantrymen back...
:55:03
in furious armored warfare.
:55:06
Meanwhile, on the second front,
Japanese have taken control...
:55:09
of two more islands
in the Philippines...
:55:10
and are advancing on American...
:55:14
This is John Jenkins,
broadcasting from London...
:55:17
and the bombs are falling
even as we speak.
:55:22
And the morale of the boys
is good here in Guadalcanal...
:55:25
despite heavy losses.
:55:30
What do you think, Martin?
:55:31
You think Hitler's gonna win?
:55:33
Sometimes I wonder
about the wisdom...
:55:35
of bringing new life into
the world, I'll tell you that.
:55:38
Come on. Lights out.
It's blackout.
:55:41
Oh, God.
Another air raid drill.
:55:43
Between the Nazis and the
Communists, give me those Reds.
:55:46
Stick to your fish.
:55:48
What do they want, those Nazis--
:55:50
to slaughter everyone
on the planet?
:55:52
The Nazis, the Communists.
:55:53
The world would be better off
without any of them, believe me.
:55:55
Come here. You know what
W.C. Fields said, don't you?
:55:59
He said, to settle a war...
:56:00
the leaders of
the countries involved...
:56:01
should meet in a stadium
and fight it out...
:56:03
with socks filled
with horse manure.
:56:20
Hey! Put that light out!
:56:27
Maybe you should wake him up
to see the searchlights.
:56:29
No, no. Let him sleep.
He's got school.
:56:32
So beautiful.
:56:36
Wow, what a world.
:56:38
It could be so wonderful if
it wasn't for certain people.
:56:47
Later that night,
I was awakened...
:56:50
by the sound
of our radio in the kitchen.
