America - The War Years 1941-45 (5 Tape Set) [VHS] (VHS Tape - 2000) is still around. An interesting mish-mash of newsreels and other actuality stuff. World War II Homefront is a 2 DVD set that has patriotic shorts done by Hollywood stars The Uncle Sam Movie Collection (particularly Volume 4) is a cool collection of propaganda, newsreels, training/education films related to the War at home.
