America Goes Over was a documentary propaganda film produced by the US Army Signal Corp in 1918, documenting the activities of the American Expeditionary Forces in World War I under General Pershing.The film opens with footage of the war prior to America's entry, and in many areas where the US wasn't even involved, such as the Italian front and the conquest of Palestine. Once these are establish the lead up to Americas entry is covered with President Wilson warning the Germans about unrestricted submarine warfare.From that point on the film takes us to the front line of the Western front during the final months of the Great War. In between the usual combat footage, which is considerable, there are many "human interest" clips about doughboys on KP, slop buckets, digging trenches, even one of their lion mascot. Those shots are accompanied by a still cartoon soldier resembling Private SNAFU.The combat footage, which includes some graphic scenes of the dead and wounded, is accompanied by animated maps of the front, and the gradual inching toward Germany.Thext by wikipedia.org GNU FDL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America_Goes_Over This video is in the Public Domain, for more informations please visit : http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=america%20goes%20over%20AND%20mediatype%3Amovies
