The injured soldier, actually a pilot as he's wearing a Pilotenabzeichen (pilot's badge) has the rank of Oberfeldwebel (NATO OR-6). The award/badge next to the pilot's badge is not known to me. It's not necessarily that he is a pilot, but at least he is qualified to fly. Based of his epaulets which have a slight orange color on the edges make me believe that he is from the Feldgendarmerie. Also there are letters on those epaulets, but they are hard to read. I think it says 'FG' or 'KS'. But to my knowledge, those Shouler Board Cyphers do not exist for the Feldgendarmerie. My best guess, based on the shapes, would be 'FP' or still 'KS'. This means that this man is: A member of the Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie was assigned to the Field Post (Feldpost) with the rank of Oberfeldwebel. Furthermore, he is qualified to fly an aircraft. OR... A member of the Luftwaffe Feldgendarmerie, who was part of the 'Luftkriegschule' (Aerial Warfare School) with the rank of Oberfeldwebel. Furthermore, he is qualified to fly an aircraft. EDIT: I have done more 'research' and I am confident to say that the round award next to his pilot's badge is likely to be a Luftwaffe/NSFK Zeger Flieger. This means he is/was part of the The National Socialist Flyers Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Fliegerkorps). As the award is filled with possible three 'gulls' in the award, this means he has a 'C-class' version of the award. So he must have been a very skilled glider pilot.

Not an expert but my swag is: His rank color is gold meaning he was part of the flying troops He looks to have the Pilot's Badge (silver wreath) on his left breast pocket. And the Luftwaffe Combat Clasp on his right breast pocket with eagle clasping swastika (not Iron Cross). I can't make it out for sure but I believe that may be a wound badge under his Pilot's Badge. It is in the correct position on the pocket but .... If so and it is silver means he was wounded three times in combat. Wonder if he was ever shot down? He looks young to have that much combat experience but I guess if 14 YOs are manning anti tank guns in Berlin then .... About the Luftwaffe Combat Clasp maybe he was not successful in shooting down any aircraft and perhaps why he does not have the Iron Cross version?

We won the war on paper, but in reality we lost everything. Most of our empire and Commonwealth had gone, our Navy once the biggest in the world was reduced to nothing as a cost cutting exercise because we ended up in so much debt to the banks and for exchange or American help we handed over many overseas lands to America. The end of WW2 was when Britain realised it was no longer a superpower and we handed the baton to our yank cousins.

Yes - it is beyond sad. However, Nuernberg re-built all the old churches, the ancient city walls, the "Burg" and many other buildings. At first, the plan was (in 1949 or so) to leave the destroyed city as one big, giant memorial and a warning to generations for hundreds of years what bombs do to a city and the people who live in it. The city as such was planned to be rebuilt a few kilometers away from the original site. However, they (the people at the time) decided against it and repaired lovingly and with great effort (labour and financial sacrifices) the ancient buildings.

Chris Allen: The seeds of WWII were sown by the end of WWI. Had the allies occupied Germany - instead of stopping at her borders and allowing Germany's armed forces to retreat into Germany with their arms - its debatable whether or not WWII would've started. This error was seen by one French general at Versailles who said: "we've only delayed the next war by 20yrs" (he was actually 3mths out in his prediction). But the destruction and occupation of Germany was necessary if only to avoid the same mistake as at the end of WWI, which may have precipitated WWIII. Don't forget, too, that the Nazism hierarchy plundered Europe of fine art and treasures,confiscating much from their legitimate owners (most of which is still missing to this day). But most important of all - above any cultural or art treasures - is the fact that Germany deliberately practised wholesale genocide and persecution of Jews and the minorities, with very, very few of those criminals ever being convicted of crimes against humanity!! So before you get all revisionist, please note, the allies had to win the war for us and those being exterminated, and that Germany herself caused the war - plus the ensuing, inevitable and unavoidable, destruction.

@@SMichaelDeHart. The Americans always did what was best for themselves. For example I’m old enough to remember the war and especially the years after, and listening to to people who actually made the decisions. American leaders made it clear that after Pearl Harbor they would NOT have entered the European war if Germany had not declared war on them a few days after. America made the British send all their gold reserves to South Africa (in case the Germans invaded Britain). By the end of the war Britain was totally broke and starving. We asked for help. America said no, no, no. All aid ended the day the war ended. Eventually Britain was able to obtain a loan (eventually paid off in the early two thousands). The Marshall Plan followed a couple of years later but that was to protect America as much as anyone. The Soviet Union seemed increasingly aggressive, Italy looked it might become communist and France likewise. America is not good at war. We had to teach you the basics of anti-submarine warfare. Your Admiral King was a fool. North Africa became a fiasco with the British having to go in to stop the Americans from running away. True. The British were the only nation to fight from the first day until the last and on more fronts than anyone else. We even took over Vietnam after the war and when we left, it was at peace. We defeated the communist take-over of Malaysia while you were defeated in Vietnam, despite us telling you how to defeat the communists as we had. They was no shame in Britain being the only nation to keep fighting when everyone else had surrendered (we stood alone for a year against a much bigger country with the best armed forces and shattered by six years of bombing.

Unfortunately France with its army of about three million (against Germany’s army of the same size) was unable to defend itself and Britain with its army of 220 thousand had to to retreat back to Britain (known as the Miracle of Dunkirk).

So they did a second session in Berlin on May 8, this time also with the Soviets. The documents of the unconditional surrender were signed not on May 8 but just after midnight -so May 9- by Keitel and the allied forces.

Well, first of all, it was not so much the 'spirit of liberation' as it says in the video, but the 'spirit of deafeat and occupation'. One must not forget that the German population had been exposed to Nazi propaganda for 12 years. At the time, the Americans were enemies that had attacked the civilian population in carpet bombings time and again. In Nuremberg (and Bavaria as a whole), people were glad that the Americans had invaded first. People did not necessarily feel 'liberated'. It was just very much hoped that the Americans would be the lesser evil. Above all, people were just glad that the war was over. And in the foreground was the mere struggle for survival! I therefore find it inappropriate to speak of a 'spirit of liberation'. - Greetz from a German!

The young injured airman is an Oberfeldwebel (Master Sgt). The yellow color denotes the flying branch and he is wearing an embroidered pilots badge. The letters on his epaulettes between his rank pips are probably from his flying school but that's just a guess. He doesn't even look old enough to shave, but well fed and thats probably his best girl of wife with him. The Yank on the PA is wearing the 80th Infantry Division Shoulder patch which means this is right after the 3rd Army took over from the 7th Army. My dad was in an antiaircraft battery attached to 80th Division around this time so he was probably in the area.

@@rvnmedic1968 True, but I suppose we also could have spent nothing and let them go any which way, and allow the Soviets to have the whole fucking country and then spent the billions keeping them all in check..with the Soviets drooling at that prospect, and a shitload more for them to lose, we would have had to have a Baumholder twin somewhere in France, anyway! None of the four occupiers were exactly gonna skate by on the cheap, that certainly has been proven. Pay me now, or pay me later!!

Seeing this well preserved color footage, plus the near-live footage we now see in the Russian-Ukrainian war, just emphasizes that the face of war never really changes. Styles change, but the injuries and deaths are always ugly. We live, love, fight, and die on the same earth, under the same beautiful blue sky and cold grey clouds.

Nuremberg was a showcase for teaching a lessen. The mayor decided to not surrender and the US commander delivered a lesson of his own. Nuremberg could’ve been spared, but it was leveled because the Nazi mayor decided to not surrender. And perhaps more than any axis city that wasn’t hit by an atomic bomb, Nuremberg was leveled. Leveled. And it didn’t help that it had such ties to the rallies there.

Of course they did. Bombing civilians is a war crime, no matter who started the war or for what ideology they were fighting. Every nation commited war crimes. It still happens. Be it Malmédy during the Battle of the Bulge or My Lai in Vietnam. Look at what happened on the Balkan in the 90s or in Grosny. Seems to be part of mankind. There is no point in discussing what the SS and their helpers did in the death camps. These were beasts. As for the soldiers of any side: I wasn' there, I don't know what I would have done on either side. Times and education are quite a bit different today and judging from hindsight is unfair. So no offense, friend !

1:43...it is hard to believe how YOUNG he is... how young everyone in this clip is.. What an Incredible video, really caught at the heat of the moment, at the center of it all. Incredible. It's hard to believe that this landscape is real and then there are live people walking around in and out of these ruins. Totally surreal. I just imagine the scene a few days before this video was taken. The absolute size of the destruction to do that to those buildings. Wow. And yet some people survived and then gathered in their best clothes. Unreal, the human spirit..
