Retired Army Colonel Brings Real World Experience to RealMilitaryFlix.com

Noted Novelist and Historian Hosts Military Video Website

LOS ANGELES -- PR NEWSWIRE -- April 16, 2008 -- The internet's largest military history video website, RealMilitaryFlix.com, welcomed retired US Army Colonel John Antal this week. The 30 year veteran will lend his expertise to guide visitors through the site. RealMilitaryFlix.com spotlights historical movies made by military organizations for documentation, training and even propaganda purposes. It also features new military videos from Iraq and Afghanistan. Other collections such as the WWII secret agent training films were once classified as Top-Secret.

Veteran television producer John Corry founded the site. He first met Antal in 1993 when he interviewed him for the A&E and History Channel series Weapons at War hosted by George C. Scott. "John was one of the most knowledgeable experts I had met," Corry said. "In one day's taping he delivered so many memorable sound bites that we included him in six episodes."

At the time Antal was on active duty with the US Army as a cavalry tank officer and an Airborne Ranger. Before long he was doing more interviews. Thanks to reruns he was appearing on television on a regular basis. "I have a passion for military history," Antal said, "and it was professionally rewarding to describe some of the most dramatic battles of all time."

A graduate of West Point and the US Army War College, Antal is a dedicated student of the "Art of War." He has authored nine books and was the Founding Editor of Armchair General Magazine. He recently helped develop the best-selling Brothers in Arms video game series and a History Channel special based on the game.

In the meantime, John Corry amassed a library of historical military videos. "As we put RealMilitaryFlix.com together I reconnected with Colonel Antal to get his input and we've been collaborating ever since. Our subjects are vast and the library spans more than a century of military history, so it is reassuring to know John Antal is assisting us to present and interpret these military films."

RealMilitaryFlix.com has also joined forces with the internet's leading military resource and information portal, MilitaryConnection.com, to pass the word to military veterans and military history aficionados.

Rare Military Film Collection Debuts at RealMilitaryFlix.com

Site Features Once Top-Secret Movies and Training Films from all Eras

LOS ANGELES -- March 27, 2008 - The largest on-line military film and video website was opened to the public today. RealMilitaryFlix.com spotlights hundreds of historical movies made by military organizations for documentation, training and propaganda purposes. The site also features new military videos from Iraq and Afghanistan. Other collections such as the WWII secret agent training films were once classified as Top-Secret.

US Air Force combat camera veteran John Corry spent the past year putting his collection on-line. He started his archive while producing a television series for A&E in 1991. "The Air Force used to care for all US military film masters, but that responsibility shifted to the US archives in the mid-1990's. "During the transfer, many films were deemed unworthy of continued preservation and were simply thrown out. Others wound up on crates in government warehouses," Corry said, "We got there just in time."

Most all military productions eventually become obsolete - deemed to be of little use as technologies evolve and as policies change. The general public rarely, if ever, saw these military films in their entirety. "What makes these films so special is that they are like opening time capsules," Corry said. "For example, the US Government took a hard line while training soldiers to occupy Germany after WWII. The men were taught to not make any German friends and they were warned about the 'aggressive tendencies' of the German people," he added. "Today the film seems un-politically correct, but it illuminates how people felt at the time."

The military videos date back to World War One and the average length is about twelve minutes. RealMilitaryFlix.com currently has 650 films on-line and approximately 1,200 more will be released throughout the year. Military films from the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Italy are also featured. "I'd like to see history buffs from all over the world discuss military topics in our forum based on a shared viewing experience. We expect to have extraordinary discussions," Corry said.

Author and Historian Colonel John Antal, US Army (Ret.) recently signed on as the site's military advisor. RealMilitaryFlix.com has also joined forces with the internet's leading military resource and information portal, MilitaryConnection.com, to pass the word to military veterans and military history aficionados.
