The Nazi Strike (1943): Frank Capra's "The Nazis Strike" is the second film in a seven film series entitled "Why We Fight". This film was made by the United States Army Signal Corp in 1942 and '43. Although there are no screen credits for individuals, some of Hollywood's leading figures participated in the creation of this film and the series ... "The Nazis Strike" and the "Why We Fight" series in general is probably best described as a compilation film rather than a documentary and therefore very much a job of effective editing ... and the editor was William Hornbeck, editor of "Four Feathers" and "The Thief of Bagdad" before the war and, notably, editor with Frank Capra of the perennial favorite just after the war, "It's a Wonderful Life". Much of the footage Hornbeck cut in was from Leni Riefenstahl's "Triumph of the Will" (Triumph des Willens: Das Dokument vom Reichsparteitag 1934) although documentary footage from films of US Federal programs like the Works Progress Administration is used throughout.
