[Documentary] D-Day to Berlin - Colour footage of WW2

[julianj]

Part of my job is to do with archive footage. In anticipation of the commemoration of D-Day I rediscovered Hollywood director George Steven's colour home movies of his war. He volunteered at 37 and was put in charge of a combat film unit, filming of course in B/W but he took his 16mm camera along and had access to rare stocks of colour film. These home movies were only discovered by his son in storage after his death.

It's an eye-opener, and useful for modelling and gaming.

Good point @julianj / Without understanding what the narrator says, the images are splendid.
