I saw this article on Yahoo today. Rare color footage of London blitz found It is always interesting to see color video and photos from before the era when color photography was so common. This video is especially interesting because it is of a part of the war that recieves very little attention in America. The Blitz is a footnote to most American histories of the war. My mother lived through it as a child and has told me some stories of what it was like although it was nothing compared to what the Germans went through later in the war. An interesting video nonetheless and it is only a little over a minute long.
So, that's interesting ! I don't about you but whenever a document is displayed in colours, it seems so close of today. Most of time documents are displayed in B/W as if it came from another era or another world ... Original materials such as your document must be used only (talking about my courses)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLF9y56qXJY
Good morning:)We have also some nice videos of what you call 'Blitz". Mostly B/W though.The one below was recorder during a siege of Warsaw in September 1939.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72BFkdI8alo&feature=relatedThe burning buliding on 2:07 is The Royal Palace.
I almost forgot about this great man, American journalist, Mr. Julien Bryan.He filmed our capital city during siege in 1939 and showed the movie in USA. It is said, he was the only foreign (neutral) journalist in besieged Warsaw.Here's a short story and some linkshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julien_Bryan
