Armies from different nations and walks of life come together in a truly epic struggle to open a supply route that would aid the Chinese and American forces in an effort to resist the Japanese from overrunning the entire Asian theater. The Stilwell Road was produced by the American Office of War Information and the British and Indian film units in 1945 detailing the creation of the Ledo Road, also known as the Stilwell Road after the U.S. General Joseph 'Vinegar Joe' Stilwell. The film concentrates mostly on the importance of the Burma Campaign and the Burma Road in supplying Chinese and American forces in resisting the Japanese from occupying the entire Pacific theater.
This film is narrated by Ronald Reagan.
Poster Comment:
I knew an old boy who was a radio operator in Burma. He ended up being a Bird Colonel and was also the chief arms merchant for the United States in the Pentagon. He sold millions and millions of dollars of weapons systems to the Saudis and even the Argentinians had bought U.S. Skyhawk war planes.
