The End of the War in Colour - Part 3: Visions of Hell | History Documentary
Watch 'The End of the War in Colour - Part 4' here: • The End of the War in ...
Nuremberg, Hitler's "City of the Nazi Party Rallies", has surrendered after a bloody battle of houses. At the end of April, the city and its surroundings are a favoured area of operation for the camera teams of "Special Film Project 186". Meanwhile, Hollywood director George Stevens heads south. In the Dachau concentration camp, his team documents the horrors of the National Socialist extermination policy. They also filmed one of the evacuation transports from the death camps in the East. Stevens: "It was as if we were walking through Dante's visions of hell". In early May, the photojournalists reach Obersalzberg, Hitler's private refuge in the Alps.
When US troops conquer Nazi Germany from the West in March 1945, camera teams follow them, documenting the defeated and occupied country. The special feature: they shoot in 16mm colour. The result is unique film footage of the destroyed cities and their inhabitants, but also depressing images of the victims of terror and the policy of extermination.

My grandfather, a Jew, was liberated from the Dachau concentration camp. He was 49 years old. An American GI of Lithuanian catholic extraction befriended him and they were able to communicate in the Lithuanian language. My grandfather’s entire extended family and four of his own children had been killed by the Germans and the Lithuanian collaborators. He returned to Lithuania and discovered that his wife, two elder daughters had been liberated by the red army. I was born four years later. I’ve heard many stories about their experience during the war. My grandfather died in New York in 1992.

My FATHER of blessed memory was in Auschwitz. He was married with two young sons. Dr. Yosef Mengele separated the men from the women. The weak (who were slated to be gassed along with children, the elderly or anyone who was of no use to them) from the strong who were used as slave labor until they could no longer work or got typhus. At age 40 he ended up in a DP camp (he was from Hungary) and met my mother who was 27. He didnt want to remarry due to all the loss but he married her and produced 4 children from who came beautiful, orthodox religous generations. He came to the US without the shirt on his back along with my mother and sister who was born in the DP camp. By the way when the survivors returned to their cities in Europe (Germany, Hungary, Poland etc) to reclaim their homes, property, businesses they were told by their neighbors who they once lived along side with TO GO TO HELL, YOU ARE NO LONGER WANTED HERE. THEY STOLE EVERYTHING FROM THE JEWS. Man's inhumanity to man at its finest.

Visiting Dachau in 1973 also had a huge impact on me. I had visited Yad Vashem in 1966, but was such a youngster that a fair bit went over my head. Dachau made it all become very real. There was a Protestant church there and a pastor showed me his prisoner tatoo. I think it was Martin Niemoller, but I failed to record his name so am just guessing.

My father once told me about entering bergan belson and some of the horrors that he witnessed too terrible to repeat and nightmares for the rest of his life and then the other day i heard that ROSEANNE BARR DENIED THAT IT EVER HAPPENED the rage that im still feeling stops me from continuing

[@johanneabelsen1644]

But doesn't she have JEWISH background???

[@kathryncarter6143]

It does absolutely astound me that anyone could deny such damage that was done.

[@GigaChdad]

Yeah, my grandfather liberated Dachau, he never told anyone about what he saw. He told my cousin and I vaguely. But it wasn’t until years later when I was watching the military channel they showed after the liberation of Dachau and it was horrifying.

[@wgcds7jyg897]

Big deal. Roseanne Barr denied it. That doesn’t have any bearing at all on the Holocaust. It happened.

[@anjou6497]

Deniers are a nightmare. Perhaps she is mentally ill now ? But it is gut-wrenching to hear this.

[@jom6320]

It's still amazing that one insane monster could deceive millions to end lives of millions more and for what? May it never happen again. Great footage this needs shown in American high schools and Universities.

[@annogrady3349]

It is happening right now in Ukrain.

[@badgoat666]

Could there be a more simplistic version of WWII 🤔

[@StephenFarrow-gx6qu]

At 18:24 and 19:06 there is for a few seconds a rare shot of an M26 Pershing heavy tank, these were only just coming into service in 1945 and were meant to combat the German Tigers and King Tigers. Lovely to see and in colour.

I visited Nuremberg in the Summer of 2022. A beautiful city now it's been rebuilt. And I visited the Zeppelin field and stood on the podium. The site is now basically used as a rough playground.

[@christophebonhoefferofbelg9846]

Thank you for this brilliant documentary 💚

[@dogbone1065]

I was stationed in Regensburg in 67 just south of Dachau. Would drop off supplies on the way to Munich. There was still war damage.

[@adamhall5024]

Excellent documentary, so much new content I have never seen

[@chadc2524]

Why are these videos in spots blurred out?? Wtf, these are the things people need to see! Stop the censoring!

[@zillsburyy1]

watch the unedited version in the george stevens D-DAY to BERLIN dvd

Where can you find that?

Who the hell does YT think it is blurring out the bodies.

[@user-wz2qe2pv6r]

@@aeonsbeyond Yep ur right. As a kid I picked up a Holocaust book and its affected me deeply..but thats life...Stop wrapping kids up in cotton wool!!

[@casario2808]

Maybe .....being responsible to the 100s of millions of children who may watch this (and whose education will serve history better), as more important than the sense of entitlement of some history buff viewers?? Just a guess. You can find all the gory burnt bodies that we've all seen in many other channels. Otherwise, you can find this documentary on a paid service. KZbin is free, you are not having anything taken away cause you didnt pay for anything to begin with, and its not all about you, so stop whining and put on yer big boy pants and enjoy what you can PS given that lots of youtube videos that are similar show all the skeletal dead and burnt bodies etc. its maybe not their decision but one of the channel/producer. Anyway, you have options...

[@chuckaubry767]

Why censor it? Let people see it. People need to see it

[@stogmot1]

amazing footage ive never seen before .Thankyou

[@JeanAtwood]

I absolutely hate the blurring of historical documents.

[@rahihexe]

My grandmother and aunts were liberated from Dachau. Grandma still remembers the American soldier who later allowed her to take a bag of flour from a warehouse in the town.

[@randallhatcher6028]

Well it was a good film until they thought war is to harsh for us to witness the damage .

[@rationalistssj6540]

TheGermans look shattered and beaten down, but the overwhelming majority of them loved it when Hitles was in power, committing historic atrocities on a scale never before seen.

[@Will_14_years_ago]

The tank @18:05- 18:10 is a Pershing m26 not a m4 sherman. Great video!! Sorry not being picky because i could not make this video,ita just that i build alot of armor models and cannot help but notice.

[@jak3589]

Outstanding footage.

Thank you America for saving Europe!

For me personally, it is very sad to see how Vlasov’s army is moving in the opposite direction towards its extermination and its death.

Have you any idea of what vlasov army did 🤦‍♂️

I saw this uncut some years back... there's one guy they show for a second...what it looks like when you've gone cannibal. What it looks like when you're no longer Human.

[@veteranflygirl25]

Is trying to survive and eating a human mean you are no longer human? Just a question to ponder.

How I hate the ideology that dragged the world into this hell. But I can only cry for the humanity who had no say whether that be a soldier, a civilian, the old, the young, the blinded, the mentally destroyed..

[@antiquesandlearningtolive4369]

This stuff should not be censored in anyway. It should be required watching in public/private schools. World leaders should be required to have these videos always playing in their presence. Foolishness that people seem to forget this vile evil took place. Complacent and entitled fools on the left and right. Ignorant equally in their own way about these things. I'm enraged tiktok garbage gets 100,000,000s of views, and these a fraction. We will absolutely repeat the history weak people can't be worried to learn about.

[@brianmaitai7685]

Amen. You sir are a rare breed of enlightened individual.

[@antiquesandlearningtolive4369]

@@brianmaitai7685 Thank you kindly, sir! If we, as a species in the first world countries, saw the absolute horror of war in our formative years, we wouldn't be so gung-ho for more war. In fact, it would likely prevent wars after a couple generations went through seeing those things in their curriculum. To hell with it making people upset. Upset is when those pansies never see it, get drafted, and die on a battle field. All, because they were too sensitive to see the truth of war. The magnitude of impact on our fellow humans. Anyway, thank you and hopefully more and more people will begin thinking this way. It shouldn't take a hundred-million dead war massacre every 50 years to remind us how god awful and insane it all is.
