War Dept Film Bulletin 55: White Phosphorus VS High Explosive 1943
About this film
Not the greatest film quality. National Archives description: "Compares the effect of white phosphorous and high explosives fired in 42-inch mortars during tests at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland. Dummies are placed in foxholes and in attack formation, shelled, and examined after salvos. "Casualties" are reported and compared. The superiority of white phosphorous shells is pointed out, particularly for shelling troops in foxholes."
