Almost all film that old is coloured in post production. It's not a surprise.
Those men weren't called "The Greatest Generation" for nothing, they went through a hell none of us could even imagine. Let's hope we never have to endure another World War, because if we do it'll probably be 10x worse.

Honestly, I always thought if I had to fight a war it be WW2.
Something about fighting insurgents in impoverished nations, with terror/suicidal attacks being a common trope, isn't appealing at all.
Also just for me personally, WW2 just has alot of interesting innovations I would love to see firsthand and be astonished.
[sp]But then you might see a concentration camp or something, so I guess it balances out, but my preference.[/sp]

a lot more than that
the world would be over thanks to nukes
There was also the sturmtiger firing which there is supposedly only one video of it firing and that was in black and white yet the same thing but colored is in here at 1:33

I think that'd be putting it lightly. I don't know however, forgoing the use of NBC weapons, how high the civilian death toll would be in proportion to WW2. We do have much more precise weapons systems, but also much more destructive ones. Being an infantryman in such a war would be fucking horrible though, even in comparison to WW2 - There's so much technology now that can't be defeated by your average infantryman and could wipe them out with the press of a button. I just hope it never happens because I don't think it'd be something civilisation would recover from as well as WW2 and that's saying something

I don't doubt that the majority is, I think "Recently discovered" is in reference to the footage its self

No kidding. The first colored TV came out in the 50's. There was ONE instance of colored footage from the allied side of the entire war being found

I always liked this one. Well made vid.[/QUOTE]
My only problem is that at 2:44 it shows a American half track on fire with Americans being burned alive, while it tries to portray French resistance against Nazis.
Besides that misdirection, great video.

I swear I've seen that truck on fire shot a somewhere else labeled as American Half track on fire. I'm probably wrong then.

TV != film
Color film was here years before TV.
