You've done incredible restorative work with this series! This clarity and colorization (vs b&w) creates such a deep, almost hypnotic level of emersion in time. 🙏🏾

I'm so impressed with the quality of the filming. Question; who did the original filming ? If it was the dutch, how did they aquire so much quality film ? If German cameramen filmed it, why would they record the destruction ?
@Rick88888888 Жыл бұрын
The makers (multiple) are unknown (to me). The A.I. has made all the difference with the quality. The B&W originals are just average in quality.

@@Rick88888888 Vreemd, ik typte het nog een keer en weer weg. Ging gewoon over de restauratie van een radio met granaatschade die ik heb gedaan, die radio (en de eigenaar) had het bombardement van Rotterdam meegemaakt en was sinds de oorlog niet meer gebruikt. Dat was een mooi stukje geschiedenis.

What terrible destruction! I don't know how that generation of people could even contemplate the task of cleaning things up, let alone the prospect of re-building. But they did it.

Indrukwekkend. Zeker als je geboren en getogen bent in Rotterdam, je ziet deze beelden in kleur, je herkent de gespaarde stukken, dan komt dat bombardement toch dichtbij. Ook als je 49 jaar na het bombardement geboren bent. Als kind de jaren 90 was het nog zichtbaar. Overal werd gebouwd. Ik heb de Kop van Zuid nog kaal gezien vanaf de 1989. Een paar ouwe loodsen, een terminal en het Holland Amerika gebouw. Dat was het. Pas in 94 gingen daar de eerste heipalen van het Gerechtsgebouw er in. De Kuip kreeg toen z'n glazen badrand. En rond die tijd heb ik ook de Erasmusbrug op z'n plek geschoven zien worden. De Delftse Poort heb ik niet bewust meegemaakt, maar het Weena kan ik me nog met bouwkranen herinneren. Bijna elke moderne toren en wolkenkrabber heb ik zien groeien. Het blijft eeuwig indrukwekkend om Rotterdam vanaf hier de hoogte in te hebben zien gaan. De stad is in heel mijn leven geen dag hetzelfde geweest. Echt sterker door strijd!

Most bomber crew were very young man, without (much) experience. The survival rate also was very low . Those planes were very loud, freezing cold an without any comfort. They were often sitting ducks. Navigation equipment was primitive. There are f.i. some German fighter planes that fell in British hands because the pilots landed in Britain, thinking they landed in France. If visibility was bad, it was very easy to make a mistake. Everything goes pretty quick. It is very sad mistakes costed the lives of civilians and I am sure it will have caused nightmares for the rest of their lives from the crews involved. but I understand the cause, and we may never forget those kids up there, risked their lives, day in day out, for the freedom of our country.

Very well said. Britains Bomber Command organisation, that keeps all records of missions , etc. Has a memorial to their dead, which also includes Ground staff of all kinds, and even canteen staff. who were also killed in reprisal attacks on Bomber bases. The Current total dead, is over 55,000. It includes my half brother, who was killed on the last bombing raid on Germany 3rd May 1945, 5 days from wars end. He had joined the RAF in 1940, aged 18. @@pa4tim
