@@TA-dg6tf Thank you for the information and I apologize for my mistake. Somehow, 1945 was stuck in my subconscious as the year of the liberation of Europe. Regards.
Cher Nass, au vu de la présence de costumes militaires alliés, ça ne peut pas être l'hiver (janvier, février, mars) 1944, Paris ayant été libéré le 25 août de cette année-là. Il s'agirait plutôt de l'hiver 1945 🙂 Mais merci en tout cas pour votre vidéo et félicitations pour l'énorme travail accompli !!! 👍
Somewhere in France there is a 80 something year old , who has no idea their parents are in a video pushing a stroller w their child in it. Be incredible to find that person!
Amazing ! Feeling paris 1944 spirit.. even if travelling in the past is not possible, we are witness of the past with your video good job ! Thanks a lot
It’s been 13 years since I visited Paris, and I have missed it ever since. Unbelievable beauty and there’s just something in the air there that I haven’t experienced anywhere else. Hard to put into words, but truly magical. Can’t wait to visit with my kids one day soon.
Hello NASS from Athens Greece, When unexpectedly discovering your channel scrolling through the videos, I could not but follow your incredibly wonderful work that you made here. I like all that is vintage so all of these are just wonderful to watch!
While mostly out of focus, your clip still shows how beautiful Paris can be. You prove that without any technical quality involved, beauty will emerge anyways. Thanks!
My Dad's pictures out of focus too passing through Paris after liberation 1945! Love and cherish these little pictures and followed his footsteps around this beautiful City of Light❤🎉
Another great time lapse video. The architecture looks stunning. Paris looked good near the end of WW2, and I guess its population was more relaxed and relieved knowing the nightmare was over.
thanks nass. i love these videos . thank you for all your hard work. they are a small glimpse of our past . but they mean so much to me. i want to go back and relive some of these times in our past
So this is after the liberation. Awesome. And I'm also going to assume that it's before The Battle of the Bulge. So this is in a window between late August to mid December, 3 and a half months. They cleaned up the damage and the city so fast. I love Paris.
@@petek7822 because it's in 1944 and it doesn't look cold. It looks like a fall day. And all those soldiers would not be walking and driving all over the city, they'd have been rushed to the front.
@@chiconeededthemoney The video says Winter 1944, and most of the men & women are wearing gloves and jackets as well. I will assume further that the soldiers in Paris at this time, were on much deserved R&R. A few days away from the raging war. The battle of the bulge was far away enough to have little impact on Paris. What a wonderful video...
@@PANCHOVILLAMATO I have to disagree. The Bulge took everyone by suprise. They would have cancelled all leaves and would have recalled all soldiers from whatever R&R they would have been on. They would have recalled soldiers even from London and England and sent them to the Belgium. If they couldn't have gotten to their units, they would have sent them somewhere else.
I feel I have to thank you especially for this video. I love your other restorations (particularly the ones with cars, love old cars hahah) but as an European it's special for me when you restore European footage, even more in such a central historical period (again particularly the one with cars, but its always awesome anyways hahah). Hope you keep restoring this kind of videos. Keep it up, thanks a lot!
Merci énormément pour ce travail. J'ai revu mon enfance à Paris, début des années 50. La noirceur des monuments était due au chauffage au charbon. Je me rappelais de Notre-Dame toute noire.
I’m here again letting you know your soundscapes may not be historically true to the scene as it’s new, but it’s pretty accurate. Historical accuracy can be something that’s replicated
@@petek7822 Er, that’s what I wrote. So, the first winter following liberation was the winter of 1945. Either the title of the video is wrong, or it is from late fall of 1944.
Today the Eiffel Tower is bunkerized, you can't even walk around it freely anymore without being thoroughly searched! This was not yet the case in 2006 I remember... We have entered a world of fear!
Merci beaucoup , très émouvant ! je connais bien Paris pour y avoir passé une grande partie de mon enfance et c'est touchant de la voir ainsi à cette époque . 💙🤍❤
THANK YOU GREAT VIDEO!!! THE PARIS AREA AND THE GREAT ARCH LOOKS SO REAL TO OUR DAYS TODAY ,,. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THOSE MILITARY MEN AND WOMAN IN THOSE DAYS !!! AS I WAS IN THE MILITARY IN THE LATE 70S--80S AND I AM A VETERAN ... THIS BRINGS BACK THE HARD TIMES IN THOSE DAYS THAT WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF... MY SON LOVES THE CARS !!! MY WIFE SAYS LOOK AT THOSE CLOTHES PEOPLE DRESSED UP....THE PEOPLE ARE SO BEAUITFUL ,,..I BELIEVE MOST OF THOSE BUILDINGS ARE STILL THERE HISTORY...AGAIN ,,THANK''S...GREAT ON BIG SCREEN..
I think the dead outnumber the living like 20:1, roughly. And there are about 8 Billion living. Many "ghosts" standing behind us all. Hard to fathom all those lives. One reason I love these videos. Somehow the ordinary people live again through them if briefly in flash of electrons.
Paris was liberated Aug 25, 1944. This was filmed in the winter of 1944, according to the description. Was it early months of 1944, or the final month?Looking at the video probably it’s the latter.
L'élégance des femmes..des semelles en bois compensé, les bas dessinés sur les jambes, etc..il y a eu des tickets pour le rationnement alimentaire jusqu'en 1950....et ca c'est après le départ des allemands...probablement la diversité n'est pas votre tasse de thé....ayant vécu dans de nombreux endroits les parisiennes sont encore très élégantes...blanches, noires, asiatiques...Paris est la ville la plus visitée au monde pas sans raison.
@@buktab1791 Justement dans le passé....les cheveux disons..étaient abondants partout....pour les cheveux de couleur..le poète Baudelaire se teignait les cheveux en vert..au 19 ième siècle...
Excellent, absolutely excellent! Thanks so much. Loved every minute of it and so much more seeing that the war was coming to and end for those poor Parisians who’d had to endure so much at the hands of the nazis.
En parlant de la colorisation, c'est peut-être le cas pour ce film, mais en ce qui concerne la vraie pellicule couleur, elle existait déjà avant la 2ème guerre mondiale. Avec KODAK aux US ou AGFA en Allemagne. Les premiers films en couleur datent des années 30, comme "les Aventures de Robin des Bois" en 1938, ou "Autant en emporte le vent" en 1939. Et c'est tout à fait normal de voir des véhicules Alliés pendant l'hiver 1944, puisque Paris a été officiellement déclarée ville libérée le 25 Aout 1944.
0:32 - Peugeot 402 at the kerb, with the distinctive headlights mounted inside the grille. On the other side of the kerb is a Citroën Traction Avant. 1:35 - Peugeot 401 at the kerb.
@@389383 "would just have to" is easy to say, but I don't think the nazis would have success to destroy many main monuments of Paris considering their hazardous situation at summer 44.
Overall it looks good per frame, but consider a closer relationship with the original film running speed for improved motion portrayal, either 36, 48 or 72 fps depending on the film stock used.
I don't really get it when the intro says "not historically accurate". Are these computer generated images in motion based on historical facts or was this video actually filmed back in the year 1944?
@@Elijah-Bailey excellent then. Here in N America the food is not what was it used to be. Cancer cases have tripled in later years, many cases related to bad food, products from land and water. Eventually only the stronger will survive, it's a natural law. Sad.
@@MrMisterock sorry to hear that. But I don't think it's natural law since some rich people poison food to maximise gain, that could easily be avoided, it's not natural law it's simply poisining / murder imo
That photo is stunning. Its an eerie thought. Maybe 60-75km away, right at that moment… my mum and her parents, and all of the Sovereign Duchy of Luxembourg, are being held captive in-place by the Nazis and German SS (read: Brutal factions of Nazis, the Mustardshirts, the Blackshirts heavily armed, roaming the streets. Infiltrating businesses. Poring through banking records to investigate the lives of citizens. Forcing themselves upon many to most families. To be fed, boarded and “entertained” in homes and businesses, as it were of the locals. Fear so thick it could be cut with a knife. Bloody beatings in the streets. Locals shot dead for the slightest infraction or mistaken remark. The Nazi war machine was fed by many means of criminality. Businesses and banks kept operating to contain the people, but also so the SS could come in and scrape out the cash registers. Nazis went so far as to literally recreate new family trees for the fortunates. Less fortunates simply disappeared at night. Painstaking research (or not…) went into these new family trees, wherein all relatives were renamed on record. Converted to only germanic names. All that was allowed in the new Master Race by the Nazis. Church records, birth and death certificates, all served as evidence. Of course, the Nazis were probing for any hint of Jewish blood in the researched personal and familial histories. The Nazis did not invest this level of time and effort into those not already pre-identified as “pure”, and “desirable”. As a conquered, occupied nation, it was FAR different than when Germany became the occupied nation to the Allies.
Don't forget the Battle of the Bulge was still to be fought or possibly is raging at the time this film was made -- mid-December 1944 through the end of January 1945. The far eastern fringes of France up to the German border were probably also still under Nazi control at the time of this film.
This is after August 1944 when the allies took back Paris from the Germans. Many of the French people in Paris resented the Com Z American officers for taking all the hotels rooms in the city. Some even said the Germans treated them better.
Is this taken before or after the allied forces retook Paris? It looked surprisingly calm so I assume it was before the battle? See some soldiers but can’t tell by their uniform if they are german or allied forces
Any idea as to the exact days of these moving images. Pictures taken _after_ August 25, 1944 would be showing a much happier Paris than otherwise. I'm assuming it is, because nobody looks miserable, but I'm not entirely certain.
You can see other videos (films) of many of these same streets and buildings that just six months earlier, were covered with swastika flags and the residents looked dejected after 4 years of brutality, looting, starvation, and culture shock. August of 1944 must have felt like the nightmare was over, finally.
About 5.3 million people then in Paris i.e. ca. 1944 /1945. In 2023, over 11 million now in the City of Light with its intense social issues and hustle. Granted, the wonderful architecture remains the same but the romanticism and slower lifestyle of the past can never return. Old World Paris would be my choice - that's for sure.
One of the great unsung heros of WW2 Dietrich von Choltitz the German General who refused Hitler's order to destroy Paris before the allies could liberate it.
Dietrich von Choltitz presented himself as a hero but he actually lied. The truth is that he was not controling Paris anymore. His men were unable to move freely in town in order to proceed to the destructions ordered by Hitler.

This is not the Paris of 1944. Instead of German soldiers, the streets are full of representatives of the Allied forces. Please do not mislead us.

The Allies liberated Paris in August 1944, so this would have to be from the winter of '44-'45.

No more war in the center of France at that time.

No leaves on the trees -- I think likely December, maybe November, 1944.
Love watching
Winter of '44 - so a few months after liberation. If this film had been taken a year earlier, there'd be zero smiling faces!
Ça me fait mal de voir ça, la France occupée 😢. Mais c'est très intéressant vraiment, ces images.
ces images datent probablement de Décembre 1944 après la liberation de Paris en Août 1944
Génial vraiment bravo
Suggestion...
A world's fair series going back and up to 1958 Brussels and the Atomium
You can see other videos (films) of many of these same streets and buildings that just six months earlier, were covered with swastika flags and the residents looked dejected after 4 years of brutality, looting, starvation, and culture shock. August of 1944 must have felt like the nightmare was over, finally.
About 5.3 million people then in Paris i.e. ca. 1944 /1945. In 2023, over 11 million now in the City of Light with its intense social issues and hustle. Granted, the wonderful architecture remains the same but the romanticism and slower lifestyle of the past can never return. Old World Paris would be my choice - that's for sure.
Thanks!
Thank you very much sir, your support really means a lot to us, God bless you
One of the great unsung heros of WW2 Dietrich von Choltitz the German General who refused Hitler's order to destroy Paris before the allies could liberate it.
Dietrich von Choltitz presented himself as a hero but he actually lied. The truth is that he was not controling Paris anymore. His men were unable to move freely in town in order to proceed to the destructions ordered by Hitler.
Amazing Architecture
there is a dominant blue color that is too strong but the whole is pleasant to watch
Amazing Paris
Paris was liberated in August 1944.
Paris était libéré l'époque du film ?
oui à mon avis , ça doit être en Décembre 1944 ces images , la liberation de Paris était avant en Août 1944
Je pu visite Paris et raliser les meme parcourt sauf ce fut en 2019 vivre la villeLumiére !!
Super job ! . . .
Quality of life better than now
We beat the wrong enemy
They were brothers, not enemies
Not if you were a Jew
This is after the August liberation of Paris, so it must be November or December 1944.
