In the Aleutians
A humourous look at the Aleutian Islands and their strategic value.
From the archive
Private Snafu in The Aleutians—Isles of Enchantment (Oh Brother!) is a short cartoon in the Private Snafu series, directed by Chuck Jones. Warner Bros. produced this film for the United States armed forces and issued it to service branches in February 1945, to inform personnel posted in the Aleutian Islands of what was then the Alaska Territory. The film describes the hardships of a posting in the Aleutians, describing the severe climatic conditions in an ironic voiceover commentary. During the Aleutian Islands Campaign in World War II, thousands of U.S. servicemen were stationed in the islands.
