Yank Archive curator's comments:

Wow. During difficult times, people go to the cinema for entertainment and escapism, not movies about "industrial, agricultural and home life."

About newsbites: Each issue of Yank had dozens of short reports on events from the home­front as well as the battle­front. They provide a fas­cinat­ing glimpse into life during the war.
