I guess I am replying to my own post, but I didn't want this one to fade away without stressing again how good it is. Just about the time you think you have seen all the combat camera footage from this war, one like this comes up. I think what is so great about this is the fact that it dosn't try to capture every aspect or every front of WWII, just a period of about 3 months in 1945 with the infantrymen of the US Army after they crossed the Rhine, going house to house through the rubble that was Germany in the Spring of '45. I have not seen before this EVER..pictures of American GI's walking on the Autobahn, or swinging K98's like baseball bats against the side of a building or burning huge piles of rifles in the street like trash. This was also a film that matched the descriptions of veterans as they have described the lifeless figures that scarcely resemble anything human anymore, were it not for a boot here, or a blackend arm pointing skyward there...the real carnage of battle.
