Soldiers in winter gear are shown in a wooded, hilly terrain, operating weapons and resting on the ground. The transcript describes an offensive operation where enemy forces retreated under bombardment, and a soldier's comment on the discomfort of sleeping on frozen ground is quoted.
“Assault units moved up, expecting to meet great strength. They found surprising weakness. Under the pounding raids of Operation Killer, the enemy fell back. Ridgway pressed the advantage. No rest for the enemy, and not much more for 8th Army.” 12:42 · “If anybody ever invents a mattress that feels half as good as a patch of frozen ground fell thin, you'll make a million dollars.” 13:00 automatic transcript, may be wrong
The record
US Government work The record names a federal body as the creating agency. A work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person's official duties has no US copyright (17 U.S.C. 105; before 1978, section 8 of the 1909 Act). This says nothing about copyright outside the United States, or about music, stock footage or other material the film may incorporate. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
