    One in the series of "Private SNAFU" cartoons produced by Warner Brothers, "Snafuperman" (1944) was directed by Friz Freleng and written by Abe Liss and Theodor Geisel aka Dr. Seuss. It features the voices of Mel Blanc and Tedd Pierce. Here, Private SNAFU is transformed into a superhero by a guardian angel, but one who refused to study field manuals or maps. The result is chaos, as SNAFU almost attacks Washington, D.C. instead of Berlin, and mistakes an American tank for a Japanese one.

      I’m not a war buff, but I read a bit about the Sherman tank sometime back. Per specs, they weren’t the most deadly tanks in WWII, but in practice they had some big advantages. Mechanically they were fairly rugged and simple to repair verses German tanks breaking down a lot and, very importantly, the US had the manufacturing capacity to build a lot so we had more than Germany or Japan. Combined with infantry they were very effective and having a lot of them made a big difference.

      Yes the f word was used back then. The word foul came in for when it started going to be printed up to explain to the people back at home with the word meant.

    • @PeriscopeFilm
      @PeriscopeFilm  3 місяці тому +3

      Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
      In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.
