You guys do great work preserving these moments which would otherwise be lost

I really like seeing all that American soldiers standing back, watching with their arms crossed. How interesting it was for them to see officers up close.

General Botho Henning Elster surrenders himself and 20,000 troops to Maj. Gen. Robert C. Macon of the U.S. Ninth Army and to Maj. Gen. O. P. Weyland, Commanding General of the XIX Tactical Air Command, on September 16, 1944 at Beaugency on the River Loire France. German POW’s also filmed crossing a damaged bridge over the Loire into Orleans.

Too bad the voice is not understandable

The ones on horseback passing in front of saluting US troops are giving the Nazi salute? Am I wrong?

I think these Germans felt great relief knowing they would be fed and not shot! They mostly looked like kids in uniform!

Die Rheinwiesenlager waren Felder des Todes. Hier starben hunderttausende deutsche Kriegsgefangene, darunter Kriegsversehrte, Frauen und Kindersoldaten. Sie verreckten förmlich, mit Duldung des amerikanischen Oberbefehlshabers und späteren Präsidenten der USA General Eisenhauer. Hierzu sehr empfehlenswert als Buch, die Dokumentation des Verbrechen's, hervorragend recherchiert, vom Franco-Kanadier 'James Bacque' mit dem Titel 'Der geplante Tod'.

Die Briten behandelten die deutschen Kriegsgefangenen gut, genau nach der 'Genfer Konvention' , ganz im Gegenteil zu den, in amerikanischer und französischer Gefangenschaft befindlichen deutschen Soldaten in den berüchtigten 'Rheinwiesenlagern', wo hunderttausende deutsche Kriegsgefangene buchstäblich verreckten. Nachzulesen in der hervorragenden, gut recherchierten Dokumentation des Franco-Kanadiers 'James Bacque' mit dem Buchtitel 'Der geplante Tod'.

ONCE AN ENEMY SOLDIER SUR RENDERS IN THE BATTLEFIELD, THEN IT BECOMES THE ONEROUS HUMBLE DUTY OF THE RIVAL MILITART OUTFIT TO TAKE AN UTMOST CARE OF HIM. THE ELEMENT OF FEEDING DOES NOT COME INTO EXISTENCE AT ALL. THANKS.

If the roles had been reversed don't think it would have been as civil.

American's industry victory. Not a military victory

Victory is still victory. I am happy that the Allies won and not the German and I do not care how the Germans lost it. Their own stupidity, Allied superior industry, combination of it. From the start of the war till their defeat the Germans used horses as main transport for the bulk of their armies. They impounded in every occupied country huge amount of horses otherwise most of their armies would almost come to a stand still. They dependend on captured transport of the conquered, In the footage you will see many French trucks and civilian French vehicles.
