These Are the People (1944)

[@gilvogt4440]

These people were and always will be the greatest generation....We are forever indebted to them......Just think of the World we would live in today, if not for the heroic sacrifices of millions of American Men and Woman...... on the frontlines and the homefront.........God Bless America.........

[@kabbey30]

Agreed! Do you think todays kids could go on metal and rubber drives, not to mention putting in a Victory Garden? I doubt it.

[@terrystephens1102]

A great story of one of the greatest generations in human history - true patriotism when everyone pulled together.❤️

[@jansolo55]

This was before "Reaganization" and "Thatcherization" of the world . Now, it's a world of shit .

[@asimdas5716]

Excellent video.❤❤

[@chickenprepper236]

Love these shows , thank you , stay safe my friends

[@lancelot1953]

Thank you to the Nuclear Vault for reminding us of our parents. The greatest generation would bring America into its "Golden Age" and would make our country famous all over the world. As Terry said, most people rallied behind our Armed Forces in a display of patriotism and nationalism. Let us not forget the sacrifices that our parents suffered; let us make America great again (regardless of our political allegiance(s), Ciao, L (Veteran)

Most of the Mills shown in this film are closed and long gone, just like the good people who worked in them when this was filmed.

You can smell a paper mill from 30 miles away if the wind is right

[@jean-marccloutier4309]

Kimberly Clark also had a paper ill in Kapuskasing Ontario, newsprint for the NY Times. My grandfather was machine operator 1 in 1928, my father, A Millwright after serving in In the Air-force, WW II.

Couldn't happen with the current population in America today sadly. Too many self appointed important individuals

[@squatchhammer7215]

There's plenty of people today who are using their own equipment to make equipment for hospitals. It's just like a cottage industry.

Very good, but it scared the crap out of democrats so they flooded their neighborhoods with heroin then instituted welfare with only one rule... No man (the father) is to live in a home receiving aid. That took care of them, didn't it?

Sounds like Jimmy Stewart (with a script) is narrating

[@COIcultist]

Major James Stewart was probably a bit too busy being 2nd in command of the 2nd Bombardment Wing. Does sound a little like Jimmy Stewart but I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about how few people remember Jimmy Stewart as the war hero he was. He and Hoagy" Carmichael put money into Thunderbird field before the war. Stewart volunteered and was rejected, used a studio fitness instructor to put on weight was accepted. He then fought to avoid "Promotional" duty and get active service. His flight record would have seen him sent home, so flights weren't recorded. He remained in the Air Force Reserve even flying combat in Vietnam. You probably didn't need telling all of that but I don't think Stewart is recognised enough.

What ever happened to the Mercury sidelined into the rivers as result of Kimberley Clark's paper mill war effort? No angler really likes eating fish covered with ulcers and plagued with internal bleeding; something clearly intended for the enemy only.

[@xaenon]

Mercury wasn't really a concern at the time. Hell, in schools, kids could hold it in their hands and play with it. Just like asbestos, lead paint, Bakelite (Bakelite contains formaldehyde), and Radium, there just wasn't much awareness of the chemical hazards and even a lot of active denial.

[@frankkoslowski6917]

@@xaenon Funny you should mention that. Held a responsible Technician's job in a German Oil Refinery which had somehow never stopped production during WW2 Bombing Raids. Naturally some of the Senior Techs believed themselves to be almost God-like and would not hesitate entering the Mercury Room without any protective clothing or Respirator, to then stick the hand with a stirring motion into a bucket of Mercury to prove that I am an overly cautious wuss, clearly corrupted by the safety concerns of the company's onsite fire-brigade. Guess I must have been put off, if not troubled, by the dead or sick fish caught in the local waterways which where not quite as tough as us.

@Tanago Tempura Most of the things that we used to industrialize our society are toxic - either directly, or as byproducts and waste.

[@phillipkalaveras1725]

This is a story if why hemp was outlawed. This is a story of how corrupt we truly are. This is a story of how easily people are manipulated. This is a story of what should never have happened. This is a story of pure greed. This is a story that makes my blood boil and me sick.
