US Government Produced Films, Old Propaganda and otherwise

Several of the propaganda films below could easily be deemed offensive and are here linked as an historical perspective. If you are offended by war and propaganda subject matter, do not watch these films. If you do choose to watch them, it may be valuable to read some of the comments left by others on the movie pages at the Internet Archive to see what viewers have said about them. There are many sides and opinions of war and in many ways it is completely incomprehensible.
