From the 21st October 2013, the Canadian charity War Amps, will begin to make available online the entire collection of the Canadian Army Film Unit from World War II. In association with Library and Archives Canada (LAC) and veterans of the Film Unit, War Amps will be releasing one issue every week via its YouTube channel, until November 2015, when all 106 newsreels will be online.
The films were shot on 35mm film by soldiers who had been trained to use cameras, as well as professional cameramen recruited into the Canadian Army for the purpose of documenting the force. Because the initial purpose of the unit was to document training there is no footage of front line action prior to 1943. However, later newsreels do feature footage from the front line, including the invasion of Sicily, the raid on Dieppe and the D-Day landings.
