Tunisian Victory

Director Frank Capra is deservedly well known not only for his triumphs in Hollywood, but for the Why We Fight series that he created for the U.S. government during World War II. Each tape in this series collects film he shot during those years, here thematically framed. Narrated by George Marshall, each tape explains a battle or feature of World War II from the American side. In this particular tape, viewers learn about the early stages of American involvement in Tunisia, including the disastrous defeat at Kasserine Pass.
