The Second World War
The Second World War became the first U.S. conflict to be documented visually through the use of film and photography on a large scale. Waves of U.S. Government photographers and artists risked and, at times, gave their lives in capturing the most defining moments of the war, leaving the public with a legacy of millions of photographs and images. Combat footage and newsreels were used to document all aspects of the war, while propaganda and training films were produced to generate support for the war amongst military inductees and the civilian population. The rapid acceleration of the use of aerial photography for military operations and intelligence gathering led the Army Map Service to produce thousands of detailed, topographic maps for areas of the world never before surveyed by the United States. RIP 70, A Finding Aid to Audiovisual Records in the National Archives of the United States Relating to World War II, provides an excellent overview of still pictures, sound recordings, and motion picture films found within NARA’s holdings by record group.
