This footage was shot in the city of Nuremberg on 26 April 1945, after Nuremberg was taken by units of the U.S. Army. The battle for Nuremberg lasted five days. The capture of Nuremberg by units of the 7th U.S. Army was of high symbolic value; strategically, the largely destroyed Nuremberg was not of particular importance in this phase of the war. The military defense of Nuremberg was hopeless due to the overall situation and the superiority of the US Army. The execution of the Nero command was not possible any more, so that important infrastructure was preserved.
