unpublished story (1942)

"This is a total war, the idea of non=combatants is a non starter."
An English war correspondent Bob Randall (Richard Greene) returns from Dunkirk having been one of the last off the beaches. Annoyed he turns his attention to a pascifist group, but his story is spiked by Home Security. This only serves to get him mad, and determined to investigate Home Security and their attatchments to the peace movement. Are they Nazi sympathizers, or could they have been infiltrated by Nazi fifth columnists.
An interesting propaganda piece attacking defeatism in the midst of war, with a nice sideline in slice of life during the blitz.
