A news reel which promises News! Facts! People! Plans! (?) but it's really nothing except what the good people at GM are doing for the War. "Detroit Diesel's 100,00th!". You may think, after watching the first 3 minutes of this clip that the wrong footage has been put in, as it's nothing but d-day invasion stuff. But wait! GM celebrates their hundred thousandth engine by giving it to the army! A ceremony is given, hilighted by a VERY dull speech by CF Kettering, Vice President of GM. I have no idea what he said, at it looks like noone else did either. "Detroit Industry Unveils 1944 Models"…
