    Documentary short about the US Army Women's Army Corps - WAC - and their role in winning the war.
    Says "includes animation from the Walt Disney Studios" (about 1min).

    (Shows a lot of examples of women serving in the other allied spheres too) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%27s_Your_War_Too

    Close up on Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia, which was a major training center for the Women's Army Corps during World War II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Oglethorpe,_Georgia

    For me the commentary sounded oddly reminiscent of the voice of Telly Savalas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telly_Savalas#Early_life

    "Savalas also served three years (1943–1946) in the United States Army during World War II, working for the US State Department as host of the Your Voice of America series, then at ABC News, before beginning an acting career in his late thirties."

    But no joy here: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Telly+Savalas+it%27s+your+war+too&oq=Telly+Savalas+it%27s+your+war+too++&aqs=chrome..69i57.5217j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=Telly+Savalas+%22It%27s+your+war+too%22

    Looked on IMDb (20th April 1944): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0186247/

    But asides from George C.Marshall (as himself) there seems to be as yet no other listing of another possible commentator there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Marshall

    And on Youtube - Nb. Title card is "a tad" misleading - it's not as racy as that! ;) :
