Witness World War II history in stunning detail. This video features rare original color footage filmed in 1943 across North Africa and Egypt by the legendary Hollywood director George Stevens (serving in the U.S. Army Signal Corps).
See American troops exploring the Pyramids of Giza, General Omar Bradley inspecting soldiers, and dramatic (reenacted) battle scenes in the desert.
Key Moments in this Video: • The Pyramids: Surreal footage of US officers and locals at the Great Pyramids of Giza. • General Bradley: A close look at one of America's most famous generals addressing troops. • Battle Scenes: Tanks, mortar fire, and explosions filmed in Algeria (historians note these specific combat scenes were likely staged reenactments of battles that had just occurred in Tunisia, filmed for training and documentation). • Daily Life: American GIs interacting with locals, dock work, and moments of rest by the sea.
