Nazis after World War II (video)

Rare color footage of Berlin After WW II | UNCENSORED

(World at War) On May 6, 1945, Major Kirke B. Lawton was granted permission for a special ceremony: At Allied headquarters in Reims, the Wehrmacht signs the unconditional surrender on all fronts. The Second World War in Europe ends two days later. In London, people were celebrating in the streets – just as in the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia. In Augsburg, a team of the “Special Film Project 186” films the defeated, among them Hitler’s second man, Hermann Göring. At the beginning of July, the American camera teams are also allowed to shoot in Berlin. They succeed in taking unique color pictures of the destroyed capital and its inhabitants. While George Stevens does not get permission to film the Potsdam Conference, Major Lawton is at least allowed to be present at the first meeting of the new US Pres. Harry Truman with Kremlin [Russian] ruler Josef Stalin.
