Critical Past Research Site

This has to be one of the best finds of burried treasure in years. This site is unbelievable. It's called "critical past". There are lots of film clips some with sound some without. You can do a search for both 442nd and 34th Division, and you will find tons of short clips of soldier doing common things.

There are over 23,000 clips from the 1940

Here are 442nd clips

Here are some with the 34th Infantry

Start with this video it has Japanese 442nd and also some regular American GI's. It's outstanding, it as though it was shot yesterday

Dave is right. The videos on this site are amazing and very insiteful. It's not the normal videos or images that you have seen over and over again in innumerous documentaries.

It really gives you a glimpse into the everyday lives of GIs and others. I highly recommend this site! It's a great research tool.
