NEW - Largest on-line military film and video website - RealMilitaryFlix.com

The largest on-line military film and video website was opened to the public today. RealMilitaryFlix.com spotlights hundreds of historical movies made by military organizations for documentation, training and propaganda purposes. The site also features new military videos from Iraq and Afghanistan. Other collections such as the WWII secret agent training films were once classified as Top-Secret.

US Air Force combat camera veteran John Corry spent the past year putting his collection on-line. He started his archive while producing a television series for A&E in 1991. "The Air Force used to care for all US military film masters, but that responsibility shifted to the US archives in the mid-1990's. "During the transfer, many films were deemed unworthy of continued preservation and were simply thrown out. Others wound up on crates in government warehouses," Corry said, "We got there just in time."

Most all military productions eventually become obsolete - deemed to be of little use as technologies evolve and as policies change. The general public rarely, if ever, saw these military films in their entirety. "What makes these films so special is that they are like opening time capsules," Corry said. "For example, the US Government took a hard line while training soldiers to occupy Germany after WWII. The men were taught to not make any German friends and they were warned about the 'aggressive tendencies' of the German people," he added. "Today the film seems un-politically correct, but it illuminates how people felt at the time."

The military videos date back to World War One and the average length is about twelve minutes. RealMilitaryFlix.com currently has 650 films on-line and approximately 1,200 more will be released throughout the year. Military films from the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Italy are also featured.
