The Arm Behind the Army

Official War Film No. 25-599
"Through Cooperation of THE RESEARCH COUNCIL, ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES"

"Made for showing to both Army personnel and workers in war production plants, "The Arm Behind the Army" compares American plants with those of the Axis, and shows the ruthless forced labor system in Europe. This is described by the committee as a "war training" film distinguishing it from those made for presentation to Army personnel only. Its special intent is "increasing the morale" in the ranks of war production workers."
"Films in the War Effort." Motion Picture Herald, 1 August, 1942, p. 43.
