“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

As a Military dependent, I lived with my parents (both WWII military veterans) in Germany after the war ended, along with my older siblings, Kathy and Gary, eventually welcoming our sweet little Germany-born sis, Janet , in 1960. As a little kid, the memories stuck with me easily of the little town we first moved into, Zweibrucken. Just recently, I was made aware of a series of incredible color films (on You Tube) from 1945 (just a dozen years or so before we moved as a family to Germany). For years these films were listed as “Top Secret”. A professional Hollywood film director was charged with collecting these images.
Our small town STILL showed the effects of being bombed & shattered… and still the German women cleaned and stacked bricks for reuse in future buildings.
As Susan and I watched this incredible Special Film Project 186 (a 16mm 42-minute color series of episodes - youtu.be/T3Kl-CpBhEc?si=Oh0GZm-N-CfZF1Se ) we both were stunned by how real the “home movies” are - capturing the day-to-day happenings as WWII came to an end. How the conquered German civilization STILL woke up each morning, dressed for the day in their finest clothes to go get food and water. It’s a must-see, if you’re a history fan, as we both are! Kudos to Roopa and Paul Dearing for letting us know about these many episodes. ...
