German Prisoners of War in May 1945 - AI restored film material that leaves you speechless

Hitler's Alpine fortress on the Obersalzberg is completely destroyed. Meanwhile, German prisoners of war march knee-deep through rivers toward gathering camps. American soldiers search them. Everything is confiscated and checked. Then they are loaded onto flatbed trucks and driven off into the unknown. Their faces are marked and disfigured by injuries. A blond boy in uniform with a bloody eye, barely 16 years old. Meanwhile, the Americans inspect Mittelbau Dora, where the legendary V2 was built in underground tunnels by forced laborers from the concentration camp. Nothing is left to smile about.
