Check back soon! Korean War Propaganda and Historic Films on DVD! An original production published by The Classic Archives! In its narrowest sense, the Korean War was an escalation of a civil war between two rival Korean regimes, each of which was supported by external powers, with each trying to topple the other through political and guerilla tactics. After failing to strengthen their cause in the free elections held in South Korea during May 1950 and the refusal of South Korea to hold new elections per North Korean demands, the communist North Korean Army moved south on June 25, 1950 to attempt to reunite the Korean peninsula, which had been formally divided since 1948. In a larger sense, the conflict was then expanded by the United States and the Soviet Union's involvement as part of the larger Cold War. The main hostilities were during the period from June 25, 1950 until the armistice (ceasefire agreement) was signed on July 27, 1953. In South Korea, the war is often called 6·25 or 6·25 War (Korean: 6·25), from the date of the start of the conflict or, more formally, Hanguk Jeonjaeng. In North Korea, while commonly known as the Korean War, it is formally called the Fatherland Liberation War. In the United States, the conflict was officially termed a police action — the Korean Conflict — rather than a war, largely in order to avoid the necessity of a declaration of war by the U.S. Congress. The war is sometimes called The Forgotten War because it is a major conflict of the 20th century that gets far less attention than World War II, which preceded it, and the controversial Vietnam War, which succeeded it. In China, the conflict was known as the War to Resist America and Aid Korea, but is today commonly called the “Korean War” ( Chaoxian Zhanzheng, Hanguo Zhanzheng, or simply Hanzhan). This DVD explores that time in American history and by providing some of the key films and footage known to symbolize that time. Included here is rare news footage as well as recruitment films for the military. The information is provided in a documentary format, but clearly on the Pro-American side. This DVD is a must have for any war collector, student, or scholar. If you, or a relative served his country during the war, this DVD is a must see. This DVD comes with a fully interactive menu and runs 2 hours in length. A list of films and footage included is as follows: The News Magazine of the Screen (Vol. 1, Issue 6) Newsreel stories reformatted for classroom use. Segments include: United Nations Condemns Red China (on the Korean War) for being an aggressor, with footage as they vote; General Eisenhower Surveys Atlantic Pact Defenses as he goes to Europe to get support from the Europeans for the war against communism; A variety of interesting clips follows next. Sound, B&W, 21:29 The News Magazine of the Screen (Vol. 4, Issue 2) Soldiers from India arrive to fight as allies in Korea / Chinese & North Korea POWs / Korean school children, in field, pledge allegiance to flag / GIs & Korean civilians attend church / VS paratroopers jump from airplanes in airborne training exercise. President Dwight Eisenhower, and wife, Mamie, greet son John Eisenhower, on his return home from military duty in Korean / CU General William Dean, returns from Korean prisoner-of-war camp (POW) / families (children, wives) united with returning soldiers in England. VS Chancellor, Konrad Adenauer, campaigns in West German elections / German policemen struggle with communist agitators / German civilians watch American soldiers leave for maneuvers (mock nuclear attack) / German policemen parade, Olympic Stadium, West Berlin (GOOD SHOT OF DRUM CORPS) / VS East German boys & girls visit West Germany (Children's Airlift Project) / hungry children eat food in camp dining hall. Many other clips follow. Sound, B&W, 24:40 The News Magazine of the Screen (March, ca. 1952) Shows more scenes in Korea of the war with some focus on Australia, our valuable ally in the area. Sound, B&W, 21:27 Service and Citizenship (1951) Korean War-era film points out that military service should be understood as part of citizenship and that training in the everyday duties of citizenship is a part of the preparation for military service. Sound, B&W, 11:32 Starting Now (Are You Ready for Service No. 4) (1951) High school students anticipate and prepare for the military draft. Sound, B&W, 10:43 The Crime of Korea (1950) Korea in the tumultuous period between the end of World War II and the start of the Korean War. This film is interesting for its snapshot of American thought in 1950. After years of grueling total war, Americans had hoped to settle into a new era of peace. The Communist near-capture of South Korea and war against American forces was a jarring wake-up call. The end of this move exhorts Americans to support the war effort and rearmament yet again, this time to preserve peace from Communist aggression. As the war-weary correspondent hints throughout the film, when will the needless fighting finally end? Sound, B&W, 15:31 Getting Ready Physically (1951) Korean War-era film encouraging high school boys to use the physical training, health and recreational resources of their communities so as to be ready for military service. Sound, B&W, 10:28 Back to Freedom-More War Prisoners Return to America (ca. 1950s) 437 Korean War prisoners return to the United States on a naval transport ship. Newsreel story. Sound, B&W, 0:46 Orphaned Korean Boy Arrives in San Francisco (1950) 5-year-old, adopted by former serviceman Bill Pond, arrives on the liner President Cleveland in San Francisco. Newsreel story. Sound, B&W, 0:30 Relief Supplies for Korea (1950) Relief ship Hawaiian Bear sails from Port of Stockton (California), carrying cargo contributed by the American-Korean Foundation. Newsreel story. Sound, B&W, 0:39 DVD Menu Sampler: DVD format and quality All of our DVD's sold are formatted NTSC, without region coding. This means that they will play on any NTSC DVD Player in the world. The standard in USA is NTSC. For those in Europe, your DVD player may be a PAL format, which will not work. For those overseas customers, please verify that your DVD player can play NTSC disks. Please note, that most of the films on our disks were made 40 years ago or more. Some perhaps as old as 80 or 90 years! As you can imagine, the movie making equipment of the time was a lot more primitive than the high tech equipment that they use today. Also, many of these films were stored improperly for decades before being digitally coded. As a result of this, these films are not what one would consider to be "DVD quality" today. Many, if not most, are black and white. The sound and picture quality is not perfect. There are those occasional "snap, crackle, and pops" across many of these films. We feel that these imperfections add to a film's charm, and provide for a more authentic viewing experience. WIth that in mind, this collection may not be for those wishing to find digitally remastered and professional recolored duplications of the original work in perfect DVD quality. Please keep that in mind prior to purchase, since we have fully disclosed that to you. Catalog Number This item is our catalog #J41. If you purchase another item with this same catalog number, you will get two identical items. Given this, we cannot offer refunds for customers who accidentally purchased two identical disks without reading this auction fully. Questions and Answers: Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How many sellers will say that? Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off? No, of course not. But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will "claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them, they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for each additional item. We never do that. Our combined shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No tricky or cheap discounts. Just Buy 3, Get One Free. Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the content. You'll see that we not only offer more films per package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping, but also at the cheapest price too. I live in country ABC, will your DVD work in my DVD player? Short answer, probably. Long answer, it depends. There are two formats of DVD in the world. NTSC and PAL. NTSC is the standard for the US and I believe Japan, along with some other countries too. PAL is popular in Europe. If you have an NTSC DVD player (all USA customers), this disk will work for you. If you have a PAL player, this won't. Also, many commercial DVD's out there have region coding. Without getting in a long discussion on it, none of our DVD's have any region coding, so that won't be an issue. All you need to know is whether or not your DVD player is an NTSC format. What if my disk arrives damaged? We offer a no muss, no fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge. Testimonial emails from customers: "Just got it,and I love it. Where did you find this stuff? I've been looking for these films forever. I'm a high school Social Studies teacher and a big part of my lesson plan is World War II. These films are invaluable, and they have been keeping my students engaged. Thank you so much." Andrea P., Memphis, TN. "My father served in WWII and I bought these films from him. Many of them brought a tear to his eye. We will treasure this collection." Jeff H., Trenton, NJ. "...Very moving and hard to watch. I couldn't watch the whole thing. Just brought tears to my eyes." Lucy N., Atlanta, GA. "Those old fair films are absolutely amazing. It really is like watching another world like you said. I was glued to them for hours." Jake P., San Diego, CA. "My uncle was a firefigher for 36 years and I bought this collection for him. He just loves it. Thank you." Sarah P., Boston, MA. "I'm a high school physics teacher and I bought your A-bomb films for my students. Unbelievable footage. Its hard to believe that we lived in fear all those years, and we are getting back to that time again." Robert S., New York, NY. Shipping and Payment information Pay through PayPal using: We are centrally located in America's heartland in the great state of Tennessee! All items will be shipped out within 1 business day to your PayPal address. We will only ship to your PayPal verified address. Please view our shipping and sales tax rules on our shipping and payments tab above. All items are shipped by USPS first class mail. In an effort to keep our costs down, that are passed along as low prices to you, all of our disks are packaged and shipped in economic sleeves and mailers. All of our disks are labeled with a clean label and some graphics. The disks are made this way for speed and cost, which translates into lower cost for you. We focus our efforts on the quality of the material on the disk. We do not believe in charging you an extra 3 or 4 dollars like some companies out there just to throw in a 25 cent plastic case and slap a color label on an item. We believe you purchase for content, and ours is the best, although we still believe you will be pleased with the presentation. PLEASE READ ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: The estimated delivery dates shown above are ebay's estimates, not ours. Sometimes ebay's dates are completely unrealistic. Every effort is made to get your item out the next day, but once it leaves us, we ask that you please understand that we do not guarantee delivery by any date, since the USPS does not give us a guarantee either. Below is our estimates on what to expect: USA CUSTOMERS: Most times, your package will arrive in about 1 week after we ship them depending on where you are at. However, lately the Post Office it seems has not been very cooperative with us and we've had a couple of customers wait a few days longer than that. If the item does not arrive, please email us directly and let us know, and we will make it right. NON-USA CUSTOMERS: Same deal above, except your packages typically have been taking about 2 weeks or so after we ship them. We've noticed that maybe 20% of overseas customers have been waiting as long as 4+ weeks for these shipments. The only explanation we can come up with is that it must be stuck in some container in some dock waiting on customs clearance. It happens, and for those 20% of customers, we apologize, but there is very little we can do about that. Your disk will arrive or we will replace it. Multiple items purchased by the same customer may or may not be shipped in the same package, at our discretion. We do not offer any additional discounts on multiple items other than the ones noted above. Feedback Policy: Please offer us a chance to fix any problems before leaving us negative feedback for any reason by emailing us first with your problem. The only thing we ask from our customers is that if they have a problem, that they give us a chance to fix the problem for them before they leave bad feedback. If negative feedback is left without any prior communication, we will assume you are no longer interested in communicating and working things out. If you run into issues and wish to speak with us, we ask that you please refrain from opening a request on ebay and email us directly by asking a question first, and give us a chance to answer you before you open a request! If you have any questions prior to bidding, please use contact the seller above and let us know. Thank you!!!!!! Copyright notice and disclaimer: We ARE THE AUTHOR OF THIS DISK.
