US Forces Blast Japanese from Attu 1943

In the only World War II battle on American soil, US troops wrestle Japanese forces off the Alaskan island Attu while in the north Atlantic the US Navy forces a Nazi submarine to the surface. Further south, allied troops take Tunis, wresting from the Nazis their last African stronghold.

Part 1 shows an amphibious landing in the Aleutian Islands. In part 2, depth charges are dropped and a German submarine which tried to attack a convoy surfaces. Part 3 shows clean-up operations in Tunis. Hordes of German soldiers are captured. British troops are warmly greeted by citizens. General Giraud reviews French troops.
