Hope she had a good life
Meraviglioso video!
From a busy London West End in post Blitz 1944 - to 2021 and the Pandemic with empty streets and so much in-between over 7 plus decades - what will be in the next 7?
Not only was it safe to walk around but prime minister Churchill could walk from Downing St to Parliament in the middle of the WAR no armored CAR
But, is a biutifull short film.
I wonder what this lady did when she returned home and whether she came back to London?
rubberdc yes dat would be interesting to see
seems very scripted, but great film
Amazing times wish I was alive than!
Hey what's this
Excuse please my english, is beautifull not biutifull.-

Well nothing compares to stalingard and berlin though, they start it afterall.
dimaz andhika - You need to improve your history, the Germans may have started it but it was our Allies the Russians who at Stalingrad to quote Churchill “Tore the guts out of the German War Machine”
3:32 Looks like a Japanese-American Soldier.
Could be, but there were Chinese American soldiers too, so that's also a possibility. A fascinating sight either way, you have sharp eyes!
@@thunderbird1921 highly unusual, either way!

A lot of comments from racists here. Sad.
Oh look, another butthurt Communist.
Lord Nelson do you even common sense bro?
Leinja yes. Sadly it is that way
+yatharth sharma,
If by common sense you mean realising that letting in every single moron that wants to get into your country is a bad idea, then yes I do have common sense. My country (Australia) has strict immigration laws (which, by the way, Communist idiots like you call "racist") and we don't have terrorist attacks every month like you do in Britain.
Life was better when Commies were public enemy #1
Yep. Great vision, but much scripted propaganda :)
