@[email protected] I hope this is ok even though it’s a video. It seems like the perfect community for it. Totally understand if you delete it.

Anyway…

This is a bizarre short musical film telling Americans what to do in an air raid, obviously made shortly after America entered WWII. I thought it was absolutely fascinating and the sort of bit of history none of us would have known about otherwise, which is why I decided to post it.

It was apparently a song by Tony Pastor and his Orchestra and was also released as a record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPDuBfze5PU

I cannot find much more information about it. Even the Wikipedia page on Tony Pastor is not very helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Pastor_(bandleader)
