The plot of the film revolves around the life of seamen on board an anonymous aircraft carrier. Because of war time restrictions, the name of the aircraft carrier was disguised as "the Fighting Lady", although she was later identified as USS Yorktown (CV-10). "Fighting Lady" was the known moniker of the Yorktown, just as "Lady Lex" for Lexington, "The Big E" for Enterprise, etc... A few shots of aircraft landing were filmed aboard the Yorktown's sister ship USS Ticonderoga.
Frequently mentioned is the adage that war is 99% waiting. The first half or so of the film is taken up with examining the mundane details of life on board the aircraft carrier as she sails through the Panama Canal and into the Pacific Ocean, finally seeing action at Marcus Island (attacked in 1943). The film provides aerial views of a series of airstrikes at Japanese bases in the Pacific theatre.
In 1922, a new version of the Huzarenmars was composed by Hendrik Karels his son: A.F. Karels. This new version of the march was to be used for all 4 cavalry regiments of the Kingdom from then on. It's the version you hear in this video.
The footage used in this video, is from a swearing-in ceremony of the 2nd hussars regiment near the city of Venlo.
Lyrics:
Huzarenmars:
Huzaren, huzaren, oranje, rood, wit, blauw,
Huzaren, huzaren, het vaderland getrouw.
Heel rap van lijf en leden,
een zwaard van staal gesmeden.
En is het vaderland in nood,
wij blijven trouw tot in den dood.
En is het vaderland in nood,
wij blijven trouw tot in den dood.
Boreelmars:
Wij zijn huzaar,
wij zijn huzaren van Boreel.
Trouw aan elkaar,
en voor ons is niets teveel.
Onze Vorstin,
zullen wij altijd vereren.
Wij zijn huzaren, wij zijn huzaren,
wij zijn huzaren van Boreel.

About the documentary:
'Fields of Sacrifice' is a 1964 documentary by Donald Brittain and was produced by the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) for the Canadian Department of Veteran Affairs. The documentary was originally intended to be a straightforward look at Canadian military cemeteries. Brittain, a staff filmmaker who had just completed the 13-part Canada at War series, decided on different approach. He combined stock footage with glimpses of the former battlegrounds a generation later and added his own commentary. The documentary was narrated by Douglas Rain and shot in 35 mm.
During the Second World War, in an attempt to reinvigorate efforts directed to prevent future wars, the "five great powers" met in August and September 1944, at the Dumbarton Oaks Conference, Dumbarton Oaks, Washington, D.C.. The deliberations led to the creation of a new international organization devoted to world peace, the United Nations. One of the aspects of the blueprint that is proposed is for nations to share their abundance of resources for mutual benefit. The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) is created as an international relief agency to help nations in need during the immediate postwar era.

For nearly two decades he strode the world stage like a colossus -- loved and despised, venerated and feared. From his birth on the rugged island of Corsica to his final exile on the godforsaken island of St. Helena, this documentary brings this extraordinary figure to life.
PBS Empires Napoleon bears passionate witness to a man whose charisma swayed an empire and sparked his exalted belief in his own destiny. He is a figure riddled with contradictions that are the essence of his glory and undoing: his youthful enthusiasm for the ideals of the French Revolution did not prevent him from crowning himself Emperor. His passionate love of Josephine did not prevent him from divorcing her to marry the eighteen year Archduchess of Austria. His military genius did not save him from the disastrous invasion of Russia. His love of France was so compromised by his notions of personal glory that he repeatedly plunged his beloved country into war.Framed by the grand sweep of history, woven from intimate accounts of and by the man himself. This is a tale as grand as any novel, a story of passion, vaunting ambition and pride ending in exile and loss.
Produced in 2000 by David Grubin Productions in association with PBS Docstar and Devillier Donegan Enterprises.

Fascism in Colour is a two-part film on Benito Mussolini and fascism, presented for the first time in colour. It is the story of fascism's violent roots, and its dream of restoring the glories of the Roman Empire. Benito Mussolini became well known as the leader of the National Fascist Party and the main founder of fascism after his return from WWI. The war had altered his outlook on life; once a reformer, he became obsessed with the idea of power and started to refer to himself as Il Duce. His apparent successes and glorification of violence encouraged Adolf Hitler to organise Germany on the same fascist principles. "Fascism in Colour" provides a fascinating yet disturbing account of Il Duce's desire for power, his totalitarian dictatorship and his alliance with Hitler that led to the death of 55 million people. Based on descriptions of events written at the time; letters, diary entries, secret memos and telephone taps, this is a truly remarkable record of the man who ultimately became Hitler's pawn. Rare archival colour footage keeps Il Duce's arrogance and his ruthless rule of violence, intimidation and murder very much alive. Produced and Directed by Chris Oxley; An IWC Media co-production for Channel Five in association with Discovery Channel
