- Colorized footage of the liberation of Munich on April 30th, 1945. The video starts with a few fighting scenes. Next, liberated concentration camp prisoners from the "Außenlager" Munich-Allach of the KZ Dachau celebrate.

Thank you for this, I am amazed at the video and I recognized some of the locations from still photos. My grandfather was in D Company, 20th Tank Battalion, 20th Armored Division. He only spoke about Dachau once which I know of, he spoke about boxcars filled with bodies "stacked like cordwood", and that the medics stopped them from giving food out because it would be harmful to the starving prisoners. He then went on to participate in the battle at the SS Anti-Tank School, where sadly his commander was killed. I think in the official accounts the infantry took control of the city May 1st 1945 and Germany surrendered six days later on the 7th of May 1945. But the battles and events leading up started 28th of April, Dachau was 29th of April, and the SS Tank School the 29-30th.
Respect 🫡🇺🇸
My former boss who was in Munich with the US Army in the Town Major's office after the liberation spoke about the wrenching ordeal of interviewing many of the displaced persons from Dachau and how emaciated they were. He found his calling in lay ministry to refugees not long after his return to the U.S.
My mother-in-law was a German teenager that was forced to work in a Nazi war factory. The Americans and United Kingdon eventually bombed that factory, and she was freed from the Nazis. She never again was forced to work after that. The SS told her she would go to a concentration camp if she didn't cooperate and go to the factory to work for the Fuehrer.
The look of relief and joy on the women's faces knowing it is the Americans and not the Russians driving through their city. Some of the male population maybe not so happy at the situation, see 4:36 for a dour doppelganger!
Imagine the relief of the civilians, as the terror and the war ended... I would have greeted the americans with tears in my eyes
I believe it was more of a "Thank God they reached us before the soviets did."
@@underarmbowlingincidentof1981 i am 54 and I knew relatives who feared the russians af. On of my aunts which came from Königsberg - Kaliningrad - had been raped by russians. She never married or had children.
Well, at least those guys seem well fed.
Zuviel grün koloriert (Panzerkettenspuren / Schuttberge etc.). Da muss die KI noch viel lernen...
Немцы, скажите, честно это освобождение или оккупация!?
Besatzung, Landraub, stehlen von Patenten...... der Amerikaner muss raus aus Deutschland
Молодец, хороший вопрос
Only a complete idiot or evil person could ask this.
Priwjet. Erst war der Amerikaner der Feind. Dann gab es jedoch unter der amerikanischen Besatzung relativ schnell einen wirtschaftlichen Erfolg und relativ große Freiheit. Viele Deutsche wollten in die amerikanisch besetzten Gebiete. Es mussten auch keine Gebiete abgetreten werden werden aus denen alle Deutschen vertrieben wurden. Aus Sicht der Deutschen ein Vorteil im Gegensatz zu den sowjetisch besetzten Gebieten. Die Amerikaner waren natürlich auch wesentlich reicher als die von Deutschland aber auch vom Kommunismus ausgebeuteten Sowjets. Es bleibt komplex. Hoffen wir weiter auf Frieden und Verständigung. Dos vidanja.
So thats how it was back then....
Liberated? Conquered.
The people in camps would disagree.
Liberation of pow camp... Munich was occupied not liberated:it is a german town...
Nazi Germany was Hell.This was liberation.The only difference between France or Italy was that there were no acceptable national flags (not even Bavarian state flags!) available.
nie wieder Krieg
"Liberation" yeah now we see how this worked out
"Liberation"
Liberation of Germans from Germans 😂
Liberated from freedom and independence
Hitler escaped and is alive at 4:37, who noticed that one?
He was quite unhappy 😂
@@davidvincent2758 He offed himself that day.
Someone needs to tell the Americans that it's ok to say that you defeated an enemy lol. You don't always have to lie and call it "liberation".
The white-and-blue flags are those of the German state of Bavaria. So people were able to show these instead of the satanic-cross flags of the Third Reich.
It is a genuine liberation. Nazism remains recognized as an unqualified disgrace throughout Germany. We did not replace one form of subjection with another.
It was not a lie. It was both defeat of the enemy AND liberation for those imprisoned in the concentration camps.
Is it called liberation when the enemy occupy your city?
Orwellsche Sprachverwirrung
Of course: The Americans did liberate us, they came as enemy’s but stayed as friends ❤️🇺🇸
Liberation from the nazis , sorry , if you need that explained than for shure you don't understand a lot of things about freedom.
In the same way then, do you think Vietnam was liberated from the capitalists?@@dechamp0
@@davidvincent2758Americans hate Germans
I remember few years ago there were a million times view video just same like this, billions of salty European crying in there says American occupy of Europe!!!!!!1111!111!1, very funny as a Chinese seeing that.
It was occupation not liberation
Could you say that to the prisoners in the concentration camps?
Nah its invasion
Liberation?
