Armies from different nations and walks of life come together in a truly epic struggle to open a supply route that would aid the Chinese and American forces in an effort to resist the Japanese from overrunning the entire Asian theater. The Stilwell Road was produced by the American Office of War Information and the British and Indian film units in 1945 detailing the creation of the Ledo Road, also known as the Stilwell Road after the U.S. General Joseph ‘Vinegar Joe’ Stilwell. The film concentrates mostly on the importance of the Burma Campaign and the Burma Road in supplying Chinese and American forces in resisting the Japanese from occupying the entire Pacific theater.
This film is narrated by Ronald Reagan.

The man I was named after, Gene Trainor, was killed flying "over the hump" to supply China. It takes more than a slogan to be "Great".
do u remember Subhas Chandra Bose?
The opening monologue is misleading. Irelands leftist hater government sat out the war. The "Irish" that fought were from other nations. There may have been exceptions, but this was the rule.
this part of the world war is so less focussed upon.. 2nd world war for most people mean Hitler, Germany and Europe. but some of the greatest wars were fought in these jungles and mountains of south-east Asia, which most people don't know.. need more of these films .. thank you for making this one.
One of my family members fought against the Japanese as a British soldier.

It was a once in a millanium difficult time for China and the result still being felt by
the Chinese today. Thanks to all nations who fought hand in hand to built the life line leading
to final victory.

I hear Ronald Reagan's voice narrating.
My Dad was a Medic attached to the Chinese Army in Burma. He almost died from cerebral malaria. Never fully recovered.
Andy – He was a U.S army artillery officer assigned to a Nationalist Chinese artillery unit as an advisor in the Mars task force – he walked from Ledo through Burma to Bhamo, then flew to Kunming where he stayed 5 months at a Kuomingtang military base. Thanks for asking.
