The Third Reich In Colour | Part 3: The Liberation of France | Free Uncensored Documentary

In 1944, in southern England, Allied troops were getting ready to land in Normandy. US soldier Jack Lieb was there with his amateur camera. On D-Day, John Ford shot in color with his camera crews. His Hollywood colleague George Stevens also landed in northern France with his team on 6 June 1944. Those men documented the advance and finally the liberation of Paris up close.

The first half of the 20th century, the two world wars, the parades in Nuremberg and Moscow, and the appearances of Roosevelt and Churchill are handed down and remembered by generations in classic black and white. But little known, hidden in film archives and private collections, other images have also survived. Because Hitler's lover Eva Braun and the Führer's pilot Hans Hans Baur, Marlene Dietrich, and Roosevelt's Minister of Finance, some soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the cameramen of the US Secret Service OSS had a common passion: they filmed history in color, for private pleasure or to document historical events.
