Yes it would have been one of the most insane things to have seen first hand. Many of these clips I have never seen in color before, and are stunning, but, not all the clips from the video are from the battle of Berlin. In one clip you see a Pzkfw. Mark III with the long 50mm main gun, at 0.25 seconds in, so 1943ish, maybe later but doubt it. But right after that clip, from 0.32-0.36, where the Russian gets taken out by the redirected blast from the muzzle break, that guy could have waited 2 seconds and he would have been out of harms way, sometimes you just gotta take your own out too I guess.

There was another one I remember along the lines of German news reels, or something like that.

there was also a second or two from the saving private ryan movie, i shit u not.....lol.... but thats how most of the genuine unaltered footage is.... everyone wants to make new footage from used... but atleast it shows its wanted..... that we wont forget as long as there is a market for it. color makes it more new, more recent.... and the faces on those men.... incredible

Pointless. Useless. Needless.

All that loss, death, destruction and suffering.

For what?

r u nuts..... ? i mean, i like ya Oswald, I just dont understand ur logic, i mean if ur takin about all war in general....... ok.. i hear ya....... but WW2 was about everything and with a very specific intent and we had no choice in the matter. and the loss and suffering can be easily argued that when in consideration of the magnitude, scale and resolve of all sides of the conflict, the death and time scale could have lasted, who the fuck knows.... but Hitler felt his empire would be around for 999 years!

Sometimes war is the only answer...in this case 15 million Jews, Gypsies, handicapped, minorities, and others...agree that war was the only answer.

Loved the clip of that crimson soviet flag waving in the streets of berlin.
