...President Roosevelt's suggestion, as set down by Professor Glueck, would of necessity force the placing of the war guilt on the Axis nations, since, under his plan, no members of the United Nations would be tried for war crimes. In view of the pre-war manipulations of Messrs. Chamberlain and Bonnet, who represented the temper of Britain and France at the time, such a stand would be both false and farcical.

Droopy-lidded Sir Horace Wilson, Chamberlain's political valet...
...million feet of newsreel film was culled. Result is a hodgepodge of personalities and panjandrumry, from Woodrow Wilson and the Versailles Conference to Franklin Roosevelt and the U.S. declaration of war against the Axis. The film pulls out all the stops (Hitler, Germany's secret rearmament, Daladier, Chamberlain, Munich, the awesome wreckage of Pearl Harbor, etc.), without quite achieving a tune you can whistle...
