Berlin Germany 1947 Rare Destruction #1
- Incredible color footage from the end of WW2.
First part is of President Harry Truman and high ranking generals visiting Berlin. Notice his
personal airplane and the flags that are painted on the fuselage. There is even a Japanese
battle flag on it!
Also see how Berlin was bombed. Many parts of the city were left untouched, including
many factories and rail-road lines were left intact.
Amazing color film!
