Colour film footage of Berlin from July 1945

Some remarkable film footage of Berlin shot in July 1945, shortly after the end of hostilities there in the Second World War, shows just how damage the German nation sustained under Hitler's regime. It has been cleaned up, stabilised and edited into a compilation - harrowing stuff.
