Two Million American Soldiers are Still in Europe -- Jamuary 9, 2018

Moving Picture World, 11-January-1919

The United States joined the First World War in April, 1917. Learning from the British, the United States put its propaganda efforts into the hands of one organization, the Committee on Public Information, also called the Creel Committee, after its chairman, George Creel. The Creel Committee produced the "Official War Review," a series of weekly one-reelers about war subjects. 100 years ago this month, World War One had ended, but many American soldiers remained in Europe until 1919. "Two million American soldiers are still in Europe: The motion picture camera is recording their doings in occupied Germany."

The committee also produced a series of five two reelers, each "showing a single phase of the war."  I would like to see "Wings of Victory."

The committee produced a feature, Under Four Flags, which told the story of how four allied nations, Italy, the UK, France and the US fought the war.  The committee left out little Serbia and Russia, which had made a separate peace.
