http://www.frontier-trading.com This is a rare digital version of a rare 1953 Manual by the Department of the Army, (US) for which the Ordnance Corps has the responsibility of storage and issue. A very unique time in US History when that is not widely seen. The Korean War had ended and the US was now facing facing an even longer, "Cold" war. American Society was still recovering from the Second World War, as well as the Korean War. Please enjoy this brief slide show taken from actual pages of the manual on CD. Please feel free to visit me online to download free sample page and to order a CD. Amazing images of: Tanks, Bicycles, tractors, trucks, Harley Davidson, Indian Motorcycles, Bus, trailers, etc.
"Islam: Empire of Faith cover more than a thousand years of history and culture, and a very large part of the world. This is the first documentary that is fair to Islam and the Muslims. It is strongly recommended for anyone who lives in the West, particularly in the USA, and is skeptical of the propaganda that is constantly spread by the current U.S. administration and certain special-interest think tanks and groups. If you are curious about Islam, and one of those who listen with a critical ear, this is a movie for you to watch. It is a first rate production that describes the faith accurately and recounts history as it was. It is also well crafted, with a beautiful cinematography, an excellent narration and a stunning display of art and architecture.I don't believe anyone could have done a better job in trying to recount 1400 years of history in two hours and forty minutes." - Team X-Force E.H.G.

On June 5, 1989, one day after the Chinese army's deadly crushing of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing, a single, unarmed young man stood his ground before a column of tanks on the Avenue of Eternal Peace. Captured on film and video by Western journalists, this extraordinary confrontation became an icon of the struggle for freedom around the world.
World War I was the first modern global military conflict which took place in Europe between 1914 to 1918.
Archaic military tactics met modern industrialised warfare for the first time, resulting casualties on a previously unimaginable scale. Men rotted in the mud, then were sent to face massed machine gun fire, modern artillary, tanks and chemical weapons. Over 40 million soldiers and civilians died and countless others were physically maimed or mentally scarred by the horrors of trench warfare.
This footage shows military action in the Philippines. Airplanes, boats and ships line the shore, and the smoke blots out the sky. Soldiers march through the high grass, hose down the street, or carry wounded or dead soldiers. Tanks make their own path through the madness. The footage includes good aerial camera shots of the island. See the full length video at: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com
Nazi spies awaiting trial cover their faces from the sea of cameras as they are transported to a courtroom where a panel of judges will decide their fate. High ranking men meet, converse, joke, laugh, and drive off in a jeep. Other footage includes a group of military men aiming, loading, and firing at tanks in a deserted town. The town is nearly destroyed from the attack. Military police search all areas, including roadways and houses. Once a road is cleared by the military police, a sign reading “road clear to grow hedgerows” is posted on a telephone pole. See the full length video at: www.qualityinformationpublishers.com
The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank produced from 1941 to 1958. It is widely regarded to have been the world's best tank when the Soviet Union entered World War II, and although its armor and armament were surpassed by later tanks of the era, it is credited as the war's most effective, efficient and influential design

Things to Come opens with a near-future forecast of Christmas 1940 in the metropolis of Everytown (obviously London), a city threatened by world war. Pacifist intellectuals, such as John Cabal (Massey), try to turn the tide. But Cabal's efforts go unheeded by the self-interested classes, and war arrives with tanks and aeroplanes and gas bombs. Everytown is destroyed by air raids (dramatically enacted four years before the real thing). The war continues for thirty years, its original purpose forgotten. As a result, civilization degenerates while the Wandering Sickness and devastation accelerate the spiral down until 1970, when the world has crumbled into a balkanized Mad Max Dark Ages. Everytown is ruled by a barbaric warlord, the Boss (Ralph Richardson), as the war continues on a Medieval scale.
