"THE BIG PICTURE - The Story of the American Infantryman - Hosted by Fess Parker." This film, produced in the 1960s, is hosted and narrated by Fess Parker, a talented and patriotic actor who played the roles of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. In 1964 Parker began filming his network television series, Daniel Boone. During six years as one of the highest rated shows of its time, Parker not only starred in the series but co-produced it and directed five of its most popular episodes.
Part 1 of this film depicts the history and weapons of the American infantryman from the beginning of the United States in 1776 until WWII. The footage is a wonderful capsulization of the evolution of the American infantrymen and is worth watching. The footage of WWI and WWII is particularly interesting. The individual weapons of the infantryman in WWII -- the M1 Garand, Thompson Submachine Gun and Bazooka -- are explained and the infantry tactics needed to win in WWII are shown in footage seen in few other films.
I highly recommend you take the time to watch "THE BIG PICTURE - The Story of the American Infantryman - Hosted by Fess Parker." The Colonel
