No problem at all, Shawn. In fact I have been meaning to add more of the NFB Canadian movies to this list. Thanks for telling me--

BTW, Churchill's Island, also directed by Legg, was the very first winner of the Academy's Best Documentary Short Oscar as well as the NFB's first -- it's one I've been meaning to add to for some time and I'll let you know if I get to it before you do. Also, as you may know, Fighting Norway has a director with a WP article,
Sydney Newman, should you wish to create a cell for the director's name next to the film title. (For all I know, this may not be possible, since it's a bit of an orphan, several rows down from the last director's name). Thanks!

Added the suggestions. You add table cells by 1) copying a pre-existing cell, including the upper |- symbol. 2) paste the cell in the appropriate place (you can just put them in between, nothing will be erased) 3) write in the new information within the [[]] of the pre-existing cell.
As you might know, the NFB website allows free downloads of its complete movies but *only* to Canada. You think there is anyway you could help, perhaps, e-mail a copy of some of them, or maybe upload them to Google Video? Govt films are in public domain down here, I'm not sure about NFBs legal situation.--

Hi. I'm sure I know what you mean. I don't believe the NFB does allow free downloads, in Canada or elsewhere, just free video streaming. Go to nfb.ca and click on Educational Resources. As you'll see's a lot of war film related stuff there, too. The Animation and Aboriginal options offer complete films, some of the others just offer clips. Is this what you're referring to? If not, let me know on my talk page.

7 Wise Dwarfs, ACK ACK and ATS in the Canadian section
I beleive they are animated films made in conjunction with Walt Disney. In fact I've seen 7 Wise Dwarfs on the Disney WWII DVD. There was also a Canadian artillery training film on the same collection, which might be one of the others your refering too.
You're right however. I've already set a princle that this list excludes animation. (I'm planning on making yet another page "Cartoons of World War II" when I'm done with this. Or satisfactorilly done with this.--

ATS, which stood for Auxiliary Territorial Service, has a page on the NFB website, here, but I looked closer and the producer listed is the UK Ministry of Information, so thats probably why its not in the other list. I'll put in it the british section.--

"Pobeda na Pravoberezhnoi Ukraine i izgnaniye nemetsikh zakhvatchikov za predeli Ukrainskikh sovietskikh zemel" is translated as "Victory in the Ukraine and the Expulsion of the Germans from the Boundaries of the Ukrainian Soviet Earth." I believe the correct translation of the last word in this case should be Lands, not Earth. The latter also sounds slightly lunatic, don't you think? I think this should be corrected, but not in case that the given translation was officially in circulation. So how is it? —Preceding

Why aren't animated films listed here?
The article currently says "Animated films will be reserved for a future list." Why aren't they placed in with the rest? They were usually seen by more people, and potentially had a greater effect. Would the list be so long it needs to be on its own?

Overbroad definition?
I mean, quite a few of these entries are plainly nothing but ordinary training films. "Servicing P-39:Procedure for Uncrating" is propaganda? Really?

Agreed, whomever made this list appears to be severely anti-allies, and stretching the definition of 'propaganda'.
Moscow Strikes Back, for example, won an Academy award for best documentary.
