Very interesting video. I'm assuming that it is actual color footage, as opposed to colorized after? I couldn't quite tell from the credits at the end, but if it was colorized, it was done very well, and my guess is it's genuine, or at least way better then the normal WW2 era colorized stuff.

But that's a haunting shot going through the Brandenburg gate and the leaving the British zone to that huge poster of Stalin.

I thought it was original color. must have been a military man taking it.

Its incredibly clear footage. Must be original colour.

The overhead shot at the end brings in to focus the sheer magnitude of the destruction.

Where do you even start? Where did all that rubble go?

Just recently in Finland aired movie Germania anno zero (Germany, Year Zero). I recommend you to watch it if you haven't already.

Yes, too clear, original.

Another colour (colorised in fact) footage: Battle of Kursk (but it contains too footage which has to belong to 1941, from the crap light tank I can't remember: T-26?).

Many people dislike colourised WW2 footage. And they may be right. To me it's the opposite. It's not that I prefer it in colour. For some reason that I can't explain these colourised videos are more disturbing, more "real", as if I could touch the people.

Thanks Phillip for sharing [:)]...fantastic quality...although it looks a bit scripted, never the less very important, thanks again!

Color motion picture film was invented in 1935, so this could very well be originally shot in color.

Stray off of the paths in this park, and you will find masonry, bits of china and any other part of a destroyed metropolis you could imagine.

This is amazing I've seen Berlin a few times and fascinating to look at both periods of time.
