That's how it looked like just after the German surrender! Fascinating moving pictures in color show the situation of the city in summer 1945 and daily life in the ruins.

That's pretty epic.

You forget the world had color back then since everything you see is in black and white.

WWII in HD Colour is my favorite WWII doc.

That blown out building at 3:12 looks exactly like from Saving Private Ryan.

It's amazing how much that continent got fricked up.

Fascinating. I love old clips and images from days past. Color images or colorization really brings them to life and makes them easier to relate. Love that stuff.

It's impressive how clean they've already got the streets.

For comparison, here is a 1936 video of Berlin in color. They are speaking in German so I have no idea what they are saying

That was surreal, they literally weren't speaking.. There was audio, you could hear the work going on.

I was stationed there in the early 80s.
Berlin and Germany altogether were great.
Clean, great transportation, food,drink, and the women were:
7 to 1.

I know. Their streets look cleaner than Detroit and their city looks in better condition than current day Detroit.
