Berlin in July 1945 is Depicted in this Unique Colour Video

Fascinating! Amazing footage of Berlin in the aftermath of World War II, some of which has never been published, is seen here in this vid uploaded by Konstantin von zur Muehlen, who founded Chronos Media in 2001.

Among some of the landmarks shown are the Berlin Reichstag in ruins with folks trying to go about their everyday lives, the Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz, the destruction of the Unter den Linden boulevard, and the Berlin Cathedral.

The video, shot around two months after the city fell in 1945, shows the utter destruction the German capital underwent during WWII. Berlin had already been divided into four zones by the Allied powers, and signs in Russian had already begun to be erected in the Soviet sphere of influence.
