navy officer ranks 1945 COMBAT BULLETIN #47 TASK FORCE 58 INDIA-BURMA M-26 TANK 25964

Combat Bulletin 47, produced by the Signal Corps’ Army Pictorial Service in 1945 provides viewers with updates on the war. The film begins with the Tokyo strikes in February 1945, showing Task Force 58 heading to Japan ( 01:18), despite adverse weather conditions. Planes take off and fly past Mt. Fuji ( 01:54) on their way to strafe Japanese ships and attack Japan’s aircraft factories ( 02:40). The U.S. attack devastates some of Japan’s most important engine and assembly plants ( 03:18). The next segment shows U.S. forces swarming over Iwo Jima ( 04:15), marching Japanese prisoners to the stockade ( 04:50) and destroying Japanese gun nests. A B-29 makes an emergency landing ( 05:50). In “Clean-Up On Corregidor,” U.S. troops are shown attacking Japanese positions. Troops of the 3rd Battalion march past destruction ( 07:27) on their way to replace troops from the 1st Battalion. Patrols move along the beach at Rock Point ( 07:50), and General Douglas MacArthur ( 08:26) arrives for the flag-raising ceremony. In China, U.S. forces overcome supply problems with the help of Chinese men who walk along a river pulling supply boats upriver ( 09:51). Hand-drawn carts and mule-cart trains are used to transport fuel barrels. An American convoy is ferried across the Luo River ( 11:22), demonstrating the difficulty of penetrating the interior of China. In India-Burma, U.S. troops build temporary shelters known as bashas ( 12:25) and use bamboo to construct beds, showers, tables, and chairs. In the U.S., the military tests the new T-26 heavy tank ( 13:48), which features a new engine, track, and a 90mm gun. General Hodges and his staff inspect the delivery of a T-26 E3 on the front lines of the Rhine. The final clips show viewers the U.S. offensive to take the Rhine. The 3rd Army marches ( 16:03) to the Rhine; the offensive begins in late February and is designed to collapse German control of the region. Nazi prisoners ( 17:00) seek cover from German fire. The 1st Army ( 17:28) moves to Cologne, where soldiers remove resistance in the towns surrounding the city. General Maurice Rose leads the push into city. Although the Nazis barricaded the entrance to the city, U.S. troops and tank dozer quickly clear the barricade ( 19:28). Germans hold out in some buildings, but no house-to-house resistance faces the Americans. The film reveals impressive footage of the fighting in the streets of Cologne, including U.S. troops routing Nazi snipers from their positions ( 20:55). Amazingly, the Cathedral of Cologne still stands ( 21:50), having avoided any direct bomb hits. The 1st Army captures Bonn while the 9th Division moves into Bad Godesberg ( 22:20); the Americans capture the town on 8 March. Bad Godesberg is home to the Rheinhotel ( 22:45), where Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler met prior to the Munich Conference in 1938. U.S. troops arrive at the riverside town of Remagen ( 22:52) and secure the bridge. This marks the first breach of the Rhine River. The 9th Army moves toward Duesseldorf ( 24:14), taking control of the Rhine’s west bank. The 35th Infantry Division ( 25:10) meets up with British troops as Allied forces continue their fight against Nazi Germany.

The M26 Pershing (referred to in the film as a T-26) was a heavy tank/medium tank named after General of the Armies John J. Pershing, who led the American Expeditionary Force in Europe in World War I. It was briefly used in the final months of World War II during the Invasion of Germany and extensively during the Korean War. Intended as a replacement of the M4 Sherman, the prolonged time of development meant that only a small number saw combat in the European theater, most notably in the 9th Armored Division's dramatic dash to take the Ludendorff Bridge during the Battle of Remagen. Based on the criteria of firepower, mobility, and protection, R. P. Hunnicutt ranked the Pershing second, behind the German Panther medium tank, but ahead of the Tiger I heavy tank. In service during the Korean War, the M26 outmatched the T-34-85 in terms of firepower and protection, but was challenged by the hilly and muddy terrain, and as a result was withdrawn in 1951 in favor of its improved derivative, the M46 Patton, which had a considerably more powerful and reliable engine as well as an advanced and improved suspension to better meet the demands of the specific terrain it operated in. The lineage of the M26 continued with the M47 Patton, and was reflected in the new designs of the later M48 Patton and M60 Patton.
