WAR PICTORIAL NEWS, NO. 177 [SEPT. 25]
1944 · National Archives and Records Administration (via FedFlix)
Finding Not asserted
Not asserted: the record does not name the creating body; its local identifier places it in NARA record group 208 (Office of War Information), a federal agency's records, which is evidence of federal origin but not proof of authorship, since agencies also filed acquired and captured footage (it belongs to the series 'Motion Picture Films from "War Pictorial News" Newsreels', which may hold captured or acquired footage as well as government productions).
The record does not name a federal creating body, or names one alongside a private producer, a state body or a government corporation. Such a film may well be a government work, but this registry only says so when the record does.

National Archives and Records Administration - ARC 39202, LI 208-WP-177 - WAR PICTORIAL NEWS, NO. 177 [SEPT. 25] - DVD Copied by Justin Grimes. Series: Motion Picture Films from "War Pictorial News" Newsreels, compiled 1943 - 1945. Shows the ominously deserted streets of Paris; FFI units tear down Ger. posters, erect street barricades, form battle lines, congregate at their Hotel de Ville headquarters, fire rifles at a Nazi tank, wound a Nazi, and remove him from the street by stretcher. A Ger. truck is hand grenaded and bursts into flames. Nazis surrender to U.S. troops near the Eiffel Tower. Civilians embrace British tankmen. Gen. de Gaulle places a wreath on a memorial; the crowd disburses as a shot is fired. Brit. soldiers present arms in front of the Arc de Triomphe.
