Zoom in in a video editor I guess

Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes. In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous KZfaq users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do. Love our channel and want to support what we do? You can help us save and post more orphaned films! Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm Even a really tiny contribution can make a difference.

I enjoy your films thanks.

As upgraded version was designated M-5 . These tanks saw service in N Africa and in the "island hopping" campaigns of the Pacific. Another tank with the M3 designation was called the "Lee" or the "Grant," depending on which turret design was at the top. The turret was produced in two forms, one for US needs and one modified to British requirements to place the radio next to the commander.

Two replies really. 1st to the remark about the ability of Root and Brown to ship large quantities of troops and equipment. Well, they ended up getting it right, thanks to the addition of Mr. Kellog, and letting Mr. Brown take the lead followed by Mr. Root as evidenced by how well the company (KBR) provided logistics services in Bosnia, Afghanistan, and of course esp. in Iraq, and only God knows where else. 2.) I know the decription given say the film was done in 1943, but to almost all that tracked and rolling stock sees like it was more from '39, '40, '41 and early 42. The uniforms just do not seem correct 1943 as also evidenced by the soldier sitting in the jeep wearing a WW1 era steel helmet. By '43 the M-1 helmets were already in general issue army-wide. It almost seems that this film was done for the big pre-war mobilization maneuvers / exercises held in 1940 & 1941!,..which showed how badly the U.S. military was prepared going into WWII.
