Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This is astounding for so many reasons that I can’t describe. I got a sudden ping of anxiety looking at all those faces and realising this was 75 years ago. So many of those faces lived entire lifetimes and have died already. The way they get excited when being filmed because how incredibly novel it was during that time. And I’m here, looking at their faces in HD on my telephone all these decades later. We live in a world that would have been utterly inconceivable by the people in this video.
The graffiti at 8:43 reads "I'm ashamed to be german" in reference to the concentration camps.
Anyone know what the the thing the guy is wearing at 3:20 is? Looks like a kind of prop mustache almost? Looks very strange.
Absolutely incredible.
I'm old enough that I spoke with people who fought in WW2. Lots of them, including both of my grandfathers. I was old enough to remember the stories, and young enough that I didn't understand the importance until years later.
That's not so incredible until you consider that 30 years from now I'll be one of the few who heard about how war is hell from the people who actually fought in WW2.
I'm afraid because I don't think we're becoming any less tribalistic. I'm concerned that we haven't learned the lessons of history. I'm afraid I'll be telling these stories in the context of trying to warn people who wouldn't listen.
Love the sass of the woman in black at 1:10
The women around 1:05 are also called "rubble women" (= Trümmerfrauen) in Germany. Since many men were killed or POWs it was the women who had to clean up the cities.
Was it originally coloured or was it filled in after?
This is amazing, thanks for posting
Watching this footage makes me so sad that all that beautiful architecture was bombed out of existence. Would have loved to have seen the major German cities ~1900.
