Brazilian troops train for service with Allied forces.

Brazilian troops train for service with Allied forces. Bayonet drill with the troops wearing gas masks is the order of the day for this Brazilian coast artillery unit. After declaring war against Germany on August 22, 1942, Brazil's 46,000,000 people entered upon a broad campaign of building ships and planes, mining strategic minerals, patrolling Sout Atlantic waters and training modernly equipped troops for service with the Allied forces.
