Liberation of Paris after four years of Nazi occupation (June to August 1944)

[@oddity7263]

keep up the great work. best restored and colorized footage on the internet unlike many other attempts where the color is constantly glitching back to mono or that the only colors in it are glitching blue and orange. this channel's got the best i've seen so far.

[@kevinindublin]

It's not 'colourised' footage. It's actual colour footage, shot on colour film of the time.

[@oddity7263]

@@kevinindublin now is it? wow, from what I know, coloured footage at the time was quite rare and expensive, hard to come by, like they were only saved for super or delicately significant or important events, political or religious though I suppose footage of the final days of ww2 in Europe counts as quite significant...

[@TomSmith-ls5rn]

My Father was there. Thank you, so well done. Bravo.

[@shanasapp6212]

I wish they wouldn't blur the wounded, I know it sounds barbaric, but it is important to see the realities of war and the destruction it causes.

[@KaoretheHalfDemon]

The invasion and advance into France might have been much harder without the French Resistance I think.

[@nellycoupez7204]

Ah oui. Entièrement raison. Les resistants l ont payé cher.

[@barbarasmith3899]

Please don’t block anything with a blurry box. It is important for people to see the actual carnage of war.

[@Steveross2851]

@barbarasmith3899 that's KZbin censorship, probably, not the author of this video. KZbin increasingly frequently does this.

[@Zeus2024-pn2ht]

@@Steveross2851 Yes, extremely annoying, and disgusting really. Liberal approach.

[@dvhughesdesign]

@@Zeus2024-pn2ht Uhhh...no. It is actually a Capitalism approach. This is a free platform. Content producers make up their costs with third party advertising. The content producers self-censor their videos with blurry boxes because they do not want their work to be demonetized by potential advertisers electing to not have videos of corpses associated with their Doritos commercial. So... "Liberal" has nothing to do with it. It is called Capitalism.

My father in law piloted barges into Toulon harbor still mined. This video gives no hint of those mines. He said the French were starved. I'd like to know about those mines.

[@DylansPen]

I'm guessing most German soldiers were greatful they had been captured and were in camps behind barbed wire, it meant the war was over for them, they'd live through it.

Only the Russians are blamed for the death "missing" of over more than 1 Mio. German POWs. Not to mention of the Mio. killed civilians (starvation) after the unconditional surrender. This is denied history of the winners who "take it all", as the American song states.

Die Franzosen hassten die deutschen Besatzer, welche minderjährige Résistance-Mitglieder ohne Prozess erschießen ließen. Das Massaker von Oradour durch die Verbrecher der Waffen-SS war nur ein weiterer Tiefpunkt der Barbarei des widerwärtigen Nazi-Regimes in Frankreich und Europa. Nach dem Krieg übrigens machten Nazis in der jungen Bundesrepublik mühelos Karriere (siehe Filbinger-Affäre und Konsorten).
