Footage in original color and HD before restoring for the documentary “Spirit of Liberation" (Kronos Media, 2016)

My father was in the Army of the Occupation at Oberphaffenhofen AFB just outside of Munich during 1946-1948 and he was able to bring over my mom and me to live there. Although I was only 3 and 4 yrs. old, I still remember the destroyed building and bricks piled beside every street. We traveled a great deal to France and Italy and my parents really loved Berchtesgarden. We lived in a home in Steinebach on the lake and mom fed several orphaned kids who stayed at our home. My dad's
fellow B-24 pilots would always come over to our house during the weekend for barbecues and lots of drinking. I
was able to go to a German kindergarten because my parents wanted me to learn about other cultures and
traditions and when I had a birthday, we had all the kids from my school come to the base for ice cream and cake.
My classmates had never had cake or ice cream before so they were very excited. I still have great memories of Germany
Wow! What a great story!
It kind of amazes me to see people going about their business, not even looking slightly disturbed by their world that makes me think Bomber Command and the 8th air force were failures in getting Germany to capitulate (yes, I know the bombing was hell on earth).
Many Thanks ! For your great " real life " true story of those long ago days of living in the post-war Munich area. I am a German-American born in 1948 with a GI Dad and a German War Bride Mother. I once lived in the next town over from you in Gilching-Argelsried. So I, too, have a good--- understanding of the places that you mentioned. I am sure for all the local Bavarian people there. That you and your very kind family were perfect goodwill ambassadors. For the United States and all its good people who lived in Germany back then. I was born in Brooklyn, NYC. But I married a German girl who was very homesick. So I returned to Munich when I was 24 years old, way back in 1973. I have lived in Munich for the past 50 years. When I speak to the older Bavarians or their children and even grandchildren. They still can recall the stories of the kindness that Americans had shown to them in their defeated country. Be proud that you and your family were part of that. --- mfG, Norman in München-Obergiesing

ebenfalls. Ich finde es wirklich schrecklich, was Krieg anrichten kann: Sachschaden sowie Personenschaden. Zahllose Kriegsopfer, sowohl Mensch, als auch Tiere, die Umwelt und Historische Gebäude. Alles, was da ist, wurde weggebombt. Ich bin froh, das es die Theatinerkirche nicht so ernsthaft erwischt hat, die ist meiner Meinung nach die schönste Kirche in ganz München

My father was sent by the US Air Force to Germany in 1955 to help rebuild the German Air Force. He was stationed at a former Luftwaffe air base near Landsberg, about 30 miles west of Munich. We went to Munich many times during 1955-1958 and I remember many of these buildings. There was still a lot of bomb damage from the war 10 years earlier, but by 1958 the Germans had rebuilt most everything. I was stationed in Germany myself 30 years later and visited Munich--a beautiful city and oh that beer.

I was in the US Army stationed in Munich 1970-1972. Loved it. Got to go to two October Fests!

Das sind schon eindrucksvolle Bilder. Auch faszinierend zu sehen ist die Wandlung des Stadtbilds im Vergleich zu damals. Der Viktualienmarkt im Zentrum, der Sitz des amerikanischen Generalkonsulats München (in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Haus der Kunst), der ehemalige Bürgerbräu Keller wo jetzt das Hilton München City steht und so weiter.

traurig, aber wahr.
“Concentration camps Dachau, Velden, Buchenwald, I feel ashamed being a German” written on the Feldherrnhalle. Says a lot how the average German felt after the war.
Даже не верится, учитывая огромное количество бывших солдат СС, которых немцы покрывали и поддерживали после войны.
Thanks for the translation, I was wondering...
@Eternally Righteous ¿Extrañas mucho al chiflado del bigotito?
@Eternally Righteous there were lots of germans who hated the nazis and knew what had happened. My grandpa was one of those whl knew.
This is one of the first and one of the most famous graffities of munich. And it was written on an signficant wall. At the place in front of the monument, hitler tried on 11.9.1923 his coup and had been arrested there. After 1933 this place become nearly a religious meaning to the nazis. At the monument had been soldiers as a hohor guard. And every person that passed the place had to greet in the way of hitler greeting. People they dont act this way, got serious trouble
Hi there, would I be allowed to use this footage in a documentary on my channel? I will credit you in my bibliography, thanks :)
My father ended the war here, 759 Military Police Bn. Long road to get here, North Africa, Road to Rome, Invasion of Southern France, up to Saint Di France, then in to Germany ending in Munich. As a Military Policeman, he was in Dachau but would never speak of it, other then you had to push bodies into a grave, because they fell apart if you attempted to carry them.
Krass, wenn man bedenkt wie modern und weltoffen die Stadt nur 27 Jahre später zu den Olympischen Spielen aussehen sollte.

Fantastic material for that time, probably super8 color.
This allied film was shot in 35mm (Kodakchrome)
That explains the relatively rich colors, used Kodachrome 50 a few times with my fotocamera.
I thought it was 16mm.
@@beerborn I believe 16mm was newsreel standard. Also what was taken into the field by both sides. 8mm is to low quality and grainy for something that's going to be shown in movie theaters. 35mm is to big, bulky, and heavy to drag around the field. 16mm hits a nice compromise between the two.
@@WildBikerBill You do see some 8mm footage of the war but it was regular 8mm, Super 8 wasn't developed until the 1960's.
I was in Munich (around Haar) in 1972.. It is so hard to believe that what a great change in so short time of period at all!..What type of people these Germans. How did they succeed this? How is it be possible? Does anybody know and can explain it?
@KokainuserOf course foreign workers are also important for that, but the main answer is, in my opinion, different.. One of the main and real answers is the power and capability of knowledge and engineering and also the ability of using these elements.. But, still this is not the answer for my question.. I ask for after so great destruction why Germany rise up so quickly in a very great discipline and why not any other country reached to this success yet? Why not France, Italy, Norway, England, Poland, Sweden, Turkey, and many more, etc ? As you know, there are so many German oriented trade marks in every field of Industry (Navigation, electronic, mechanic, chemistry, high technology in every field of manufacturing, CNC, computer, robot, and many more what ever you think).. We also know they were manufacturing airplanes in underground in Poland during WWII. I also have electromechanical background and know what these mean. Is there any other country which has more company names and successful all around the world than Germany? Isn't it worth to investigate? This is one of the many issues I'm interested and searching on these matters..
Emin Kulturel
The USA...which was 85% German decent at the time. Also USA taxes went to rebuild Germany.
England suffered terribly. The losing Nations were helped the most. Japan was rebuilt by the Americans. We wanted Japan and Germany to be erased of their dark leanings, so we occupied them until they were back on their own feet. We are only Nation in all of history who did this. We took nothing for our own...no “spoils of war”.
Then there was the Marshall Plan of 1947. Need I say more?
Wir lieben alle münchen!!!
@@Wanamaker1946 Excellent. Well done.
The ''Marshall-Plan'' was completely overrated! It consisted only in credits given to Germany (and bigger sums to Great Britain) to sell american farmgoods and were totally paid back - see: ''Marshallplan - Myth or Mastarplan''@@Wanamaker1946
*Yes, this is where it all started and ended up costing about 50 million lives. What a shame!*

The rainbow is a symbol of the ''Kabbalah'', it represents the connection between jahwe and the Israelites
Viva a Alemanha. Hoje é um país totalmente recuperado e que serve de bom exemplo pra o mundo.
Amazing footage
danke fürs Einstellen. Meine geliebte Heimatstadt
I guess it filmed in summer '46. Anyway great shots without any comments
All of this destruction but today Munich looks amazing. No other people in the world would clean the rubble the same day it was bombed.
Interesting that many buildings have camouflage netting to throw off the bombardier.
You won't see that in many other German cities at the time ....Munich was after all the Nazi home base .
only in that movie the 'house of German art''
I really don't understand why it was necessary to bomb these beautiful cities. I understand bombing war manufacturing plants, factories, railroads, airstrips, but not the classical buildings, homes, convents, cathedrals, abbeys, castles, monasteries, schools, town squares etc.
It was necessary in order to make the Germans understand that if they invaded other countries and destroyed their cities they would suffer the same and worse themselves. The plan worked. Germany has not invaded any of its neighbours since 1945. The country is no longer a menace to mankind.
Are you serious or out of your mind??? Go back and read history before making such comments.
Germans also did this to Polish, Dutch, Belgian and British cities.
9:08 look at the men on the right who looks at the camera and then to the left the men in a white suit! Are they twins or just randome?
Na, like most bavarians over 50 look like that, the guy that trained me my at my job looks like that too.
No, Sir. It's called long term associational Genes. Generations and generations of similar indivuals reprodution and you end up having almost the same genes as your relatives. Just like asians do look all the same in some aspects. Be well!
Most old men and women look the same , especially in those days.....

@@lelequebecois9668 Of course I don't think that, but Soviet casualties massively outnumbered those of the western allies.
Have you read the book?
I didn't realize that Munich was bombed. As a touist I recognize the Frauenkirche and Marienplatz immediately.
@Garret Petersen Yep, that´s the difference between US/AUS/NZ tourists and european tourists. We have far more clue about geography and history and inform ourselves upfront before travelling to a foreign country.
Sure. Most Germans I have known think they know more about the world than they do. Just because Germans watch American movies doesn't mean they know much about the US. They don't.

What was the logic behind carpet bombing of civilian targets???
No actual logic. Churchill originated the idea, however, cities like Dresden were not just bombed with conventional bombs from bombers overhead, but also with incendiary bombs which not only started buildings on fire but created whirlwinds that rose in temperature and even melted the asphalt of the streets. Many civilians died trying to run across streets to flee burning buildings only to be trapped in the melting asphalt where they burst into flames. The British and American bombing of Dresden should be considered a war crime.
Albert E. because german troops where everywhere. they bombed the areas troops where known to be.
michael ehrenreich there actually was a plan to it...demoralization! To subject the urban heartland to mass casualties for supporting Nazi Germany, was supposed to send home a very, clear message. Now, the allies, England in particular, stated that there were industrial targets of interest to the German war machine that they were after...which we know is bullocks!
The logic is that the Anglo-Saxons never loosen their grip when their opponent is down on the knees. They always tend to hit the knelt down to death. You are lucky to deal with the Russians when you deal with us, because we quickly forget the harmd you do to us
it was meant to demoralize the german ppl.

I am an American and every time I see videos of the destruction of German cities I feel sad. All done for what?...Prevention of the prevention of the Bolsheviks conquering Europe, who then conquered half of it. And who then became the enemies of the preventers of the preventers.
Yeah, sure. I suggest you ask the Poles, the Norwegians, the Danes, the Dutch, the French, the Greeks, and the peoples of the former Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Soviet Union whether or not it was a good thing Nazi Germany lost WWII. Hell, ask any thinking American. (Just don't ask a far right nut job. They're psychotic and can't give an informed answer.)
Germany/Japan had to be stopped in ww2, no question there, but yes the thought of children being burnt up in fire raids is pretty horrific. Kids are kids, no matter the ancestry, and if anyone thinks a baby who can't even speak is a Nazi, they have a screw loose. That whole war devolved people into savages.
But you are right, for any country east of Germany the war was a loss, one flag was simply traded for another. We liberated France, Holland, _____, etc, booted the fascists from Germany/Italy, made Japan peaceful again, and say we "won" the war.
Well, we also handed over half of Europe to a lunatic dictator who took over every country he was allowed, crushed any resistance with brutal force, and killed millions in "work camps". Sound familiar? We went to war in Europe to stop one nutbar but replaced him with another, so did we really win? I would day we did it half right. Sure the Soveit Union finally fell 45 years later, but not before a whole pile of people bit the dust under "Uncle Joe's" reign.
To stop a murderous racist regime and free the Jewish people from those camps.
It was to prevent the Germans from doing the same again. And so far they haven't.
What about the grotesque crimes against humanity that were committed against millions of innocent people by the Germans? How do you feel about them???

K.Z. Dachau - Velden - Buchenwald, ich schäme mich, daß ich ein Deutscher bin."
Man muss sich nicht mehr schämen ein Deutscher zu sein.
Sie sollten sich nur dann schämen, wenn Sie für eine der Schweinerein der NAZI-Diktatur Sympathie empfänden oder gar verantwortlich wären. Offenbar ist das nicht der Fall, also müssen Sie sich auch nicht schämen.
Menschen pauschal für etwas zu verurteilen, auch sich selbst als Deutscher, ist nämlich das eigentliche Problem. Die Deutschen, die Juden, die Amerikaner gibt es nicht. Es gibt nur einzelne Menschen und ihre Taten. Von daher ist es falsch, sich als Deutscher für etwas zu schämen, das man als Individuum nicht zu verantworten hat. Genauso falsch ist es, Flüchtlingen pauschal zu unterstellen, dass sie in unserem Land nur Böses vorhaben. Diese Leute sind in ihrer Mehrheit weder Messermänner oder Terroristen noch wollen sie uns umvolken. Das sind Hetzpatolen von Neonazis, die uns Anhgst machen wollen, damit wir sie als "Retter" in die Regierung wählen. Darauf sollte niemand reinfallen.

Wo die Flugzeuge des Militärs waren und auch die Krankenwägen wie es heute heißt keine Ahnung wie früher das war im Münchner Landkreis Neubiberg
Die Flugzeuge war vielleicht am Flughafen München Riem.
Solders look healthy, not grossly overweight like today.
I wonder if Trump would help other countries like we did during WW2.
Trump .. 🙈
The logistics of that war were mindboggling......
One of the reasons the nazis lost ten thousands during their murdering campaigns....There hardly were any facilities to bring wounded men back home from the eastern front...As Adolf stated ...."fight till death" while he was sipping tea in his bunker...
Although,.....the same nation that beat the nazis ,was (as part of the 1918 allied conglomerate) also instrumental to the fascist power grab.....
Munich was quite far from England
Patrick guernsey Still is.
not far enough,
Until Americans occupied Italy
0:00 Merkwürdig: Ganze Blocks ohne sichtbare Schäden. Bzw. viele Häuser mit intaktem Dach und das daneben ziemlich zerstört
Das hat mich auch gewundert, da gebe ich Dir recht.
Ja, das fällt wirklich auf. Ich hätte mir gedacht, dass im Stadtzentrum fast nichts mehr steht und je weiter man rausfährt desto intakter ist die Stadt dann geblieben. Teile des Münchener Stadtzentrums haben scheint's weniger 'abbekommen' als z.B. die Berliner Stadtmitte. Da stehen ja am Kriegende nur noch Ruinen herum. Wenn ein Haus weg ist, der Block ansonsten aber noch steht, dann nehme ich an, dass das ein direkter Treffer einer Sprengbombe war. Das wirklich Destruktive in diesem Bombenkrieg waren aber die millionenfach abgeworfenen Stabbrandbomben, die tausende Brände auslösten, die man nicht mehr löschen konnte. Und Berlin hat dann im April 1945 noch massiven Artilleriebeschuss abbekommen (was in München auch nicht der Fall war).
@@paulsanders9262 Stimmt.Ich bin geb.Münchner. Man muss natürlich schon sagen daß vor allem die Maxvorstadt(ca. Hbf. bis ElisabethStr.(N/S) u.DachauerStr. bis LudwigStr.(W/O) ziemlich ausradiert wurde.
