Wow 8 years ago and no comments. I love these old clips and I’m glad British Pathe uploaded them on CZcams. Those captured German soldiers looked glum but they were actually fortunate to be captured by the Western Allies. They were spared the disaster at Falaise, Wacht am Rhein or being redeployed to the Eastern Front.
