Military conscripts who were assigned to motor maintenance



> Military conscripts who were assigned to motor maintenance

The OP was asking how people might watch a video like this, not who is watching it. In 1937 broadcast television was relatively new and few people owned a tv. For example, the wikipedia page for TV in 1937 notes that by the end of that year 2,121 TVs had been sold in England:

Conscripts in the 30s in the US?

My understanding is US conscription only restarted for WW2 in 1940.
