Fantastic find, KP. Especially interesting seeing Bradley, Patton and Montgomery in colour at the time.

I always wanted to watch video of patton, try to see what his personality was like. From what I saw, I can understand why he got so much respect from the enlisted troops.

The color definitely gives it a new perspective. Seems much more recent.

My thoughts exactly. The shots of the devastation have a much more visceral and real aspect to them. This is an amazing vid.

From which documentary is this? I've seen "World War II - The Lost Color Archives" and it doesn't appear to be from that. I can highly recommend it though. Three episodes of color footage from the war, also the Nazi perspective.
