- Color Footage of Nazi Germany's occupation of the Soviet City of Kharkov, Ukrainian SSR, in the Summer of 1942.
The historical film shows scenes of daily life in occupied Ukraine during World War 2. People walking down the streets, cars driving by, Wehrmacht Soldiers being transported throughout the city, people selling food and items. Views of the city's architecture and surroundings.

2:53 One year after German occupation of Kharkiv and the Ukrainian population still looks skinny and malnourished. The Germans plundered the food reserves as a means to fulfill the hunger plan. All of the Ukrainian signs from the Soviet era were gradually being replaced by German ones. Через рік після німецької окупації Харкова українське населення все ще виглядає худим і недоїданим. Німці грабували продовольчі запаси як засіб для виконання плану голодування. Усі українські вивіски радянських часів поступово витіснялися німецькими.
You silly person, what about stalin who starved urkranians....the germans more or less liberated them from evil russia
at 1:57 you can see some children go skipping down the street! I knew people personally from Kharkov who saw the Germans as liberators more or less. Perhaps any malnourishment you see came from the Soviets collectivization? That was responsible for the deaths of millions of people.

@@НеНовичок In 1943, 75% of the city was destroyed.
the population looks fairly calm and stable in this video. I'm not sure why my last comment was deleted? At one point you can see children skipping down the road...
The video speaks for itself no need to try and delete people's comments to push a political ideology.
Fantastic footage. And thank you so much for not adding a horrible music track that adds no value like so many others do
indeed, music is sometimes not very tasteful, but it can always be turned to low or off..
I think appropriately chosen background music never hurts, plus you can always turn it down. It was a little awkward watching this completely mute tbh but that's just me

Amazing footage. I was there a few weeks ago and you can still see some of the same buildings, especially in the old city square.
R u sure?
I'll double check next time I go but I seem to recall the main building at the top of the square in the opening shot being there and the major apartment complex to the left of the square as well. If not then they have replaced with very similar buildings but I'll confirm. The houses along the right side are mostly gone but there is a really good Georgian restaurant on that side.@@bastogne315

Thank you very interesting to plunge into history👍
respect from Romania. you know something, for me it's shocking that at the beginning of the video I noticed electric wires for the trolleybus.
To piggyback off of a comment made by someone else about how modern the city looks: In the same vein, most of the architecture we consider "modern" today when we think of a suburb or city in 2024 is stuff that was constructed during the 70s-90s. Weird how the lifespan of architecture tends to be crazy long compared to fashion or pop culture trends.
highly interesting, agreed
I guess it just has a lot to do with the "concreteness" of it and the financial cost making it harder to build stuff all the time, etc.)
kinda logical, if U think about it, - yet, still an interesting note made
Yes, just like the Twin Towers (had they still existed) would still be considered modern urban architecture, despite having been constructed in the 1970s. Likewise, a lot of 1910s architecture would today be considered classic and priceless.
Thanks for the film. Excellent footage. What struck me was how clean the city is, not a piece of litter on the ground.
Great footage. An amazing variety of vehicles in use by The Wehrmacht.
Yes, its interesting to see what kind of vehicles were used during the occupation period.
Good point. The Germans looted vehicles from all over Europe. They had 500,000 motor vehicles at the start of the invasion. most of the vehicles were not military grade and soon broke down, forcing the Germans to mostly use horses.
It made spare parts a nightmare .
@@Crashed131963 Exactly. Even wheel and tyre sizes would have been a major issue.
The more variety you have, the bigger and more complex your supply chain is. Didn't work out for them so well, did it? Hence why they turned to mass-killing of civillian life.
This video really its differently. Colors, no retarded dramatic music, you can really grasp that feeling of "banality" in the german occupation. People casually walking the streets, cars. It doesn't suggest at all someplans of the germans like the Hüngerplan or the Ostplan. Like some comment says, it looks like the 60s-70s
The film is originally one hour long and I only clipped the parts to show life in Kharkov during this time period. I did not post the full film because it shows some pretty graphic scenes and a fair amount of death and destruction.
The German photographer who captured this film showed close ups of dead Ukrainian / Russian soldiers with some very distressing wounds.
Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment.
Настоящим в аду
Truly remarkable footage. Based of what we see, with the exception of the city being occupied by an army, it all looks (for the most part) very business as usual.
Вполне. Не считая того, что могло не попасть в кадр. Например, виселицы с казнёнными и рвы на городских окраинах с расстреляными.

Watching these color film clips makes the war so much more realistic; not like those black & white films where it doesn’t even seem real or that it happened way longer than it actually did. These give you a clear image of the reality of the whole thing. Too bad they don’t have sound though.

Hi from Kharkiv. We hate Russia
Did you think everyone would leave their houses/apartments and go hide in a forest? A lot of people had other plans on life, and then the war happened... to the extent possible, they wanted to continue living as usual. Nobody wants to get involved in a war unless they have to.

What would you expect them to do ? Frankly put, it seems like they didn‘t really bother about the Germans. In fact, they had been greeted with bouquets as they invaded the USSR
while they lived in poor conditions
they did not mind the German army because it was a better occupier than the Red Army

Amazing footage. The city looks beautiful and modern. No rubbish, as there is no cheap industrial packaging yet, no plastic. The pavement looks better than what we now have in some parts of Eastern Europe. Brussels have been showering my country with money for 20 years now, and we still can't get pavement that looks as good as this. Shame on us and our politicians.
Город буквально кишит немцами, в том числе и женского пола. Фронт недалеко - это понятно. В целом город совсем не выглядит разрушенным, даже запустили трамвай. Очень многие места узнаваемы. Где-то там, среди этих людей, переживает оккупацию девочка по имени Люда Гурченко. А в 200-х километрах, в Краматорске, живет в оккупации 14-летний мальчик Женя - мой будущий отец.
а мой дед в это время погибал без вести где-то под Тулой...
В Ростов на Дону фрицы зашли без единого выстрела - наши сдали город и отступили за Дон в Батайск. Точно такие же кадры снимали немецкие репортёры: улицы города уже имели немецкие названия и на домах везде немецкие вывески. А несколько месяцев спустя наши солдаты выбили фрицев оттуда, почти полностью разрушив город..

Fascinating. The office building visible at 1:00 and 2:19 is called Derzhprom (worth checking it in Wiki). The first modern skyscraper in the Soviet Union, build in 1928. Apparently, most spacious building in the world before skyscrapers rose in New York in the 1930-es.

What you could try is contacting the Bundesarchiv in Germany for those recordings or if they can send you some digital copies (be aware that can be quite costly depending what you ask for). They often times have really rare recordings or pictures such as those in the video.

My house is just 7 kilometers away from the places shown in the video, built by my greatgrandpa in 1936. My 13 grandfather is there with his 5 sisters and brothers, one more was figting, another was POW. He used to tell me that on Sumsyaya street , which is shown here, during first days of occupation germans hanged jews on balconies. Also after surrender in 1942 Barvenkovo operation there were tens, if not hundreds of thouthnds POW walking down the Poltavskiy Shlyah, which is also partially shown here. One of them gave my granddad money to buy food and he went to the market while they were marching down the road. He brought tomatoes and found that soldier. At least some contribution from the kid)) Anyway, I look at this at imagine myself on all these streets that are very well known, thinking that if I just appear there I would run to my hourse, that I rebuilt now and live in, to check on my ancestors.

Любимый город. Качественные кадры. Экскурс в прошлое. Двукратная немецкая оккупация была очень тяжелой для жителей. К моменту освобождения 23 августа 1943 город был сильно разрушен. Много горожан погибло от голода, бомбежек, зверств фашистов. В декабре 1943 года состоялся Харьковский судебный процесс над немецко-фашистскими преступниками, принимавшими участие в военных преступлениях на территории Харькова и Харьковской области в период их оккупации. Первый из открытых советских судебных процессов над иностранными военными преступниками.

It's not in Russian books about WW2, because officially this Pact was just défensive, but it was a true alliance. That's the reason why the association Mémorial, Nobel Prize 2022, whose goal is to document the crimes of Stalin, has been forbidden and their historians have been arrested. You should study the real history, not the communist or the Putin's version. Thé problem, if you go to a liberty and you want to consult some Books, if you go to the archives and you want to read the Pravda in 1940 or 1941, if you want to see some archives, you'll be arrested. Or you'll have an accident. That's the same thing if in China you mention the demonstrations Tian an m'en Square in 1989.

Over their 22 months occupation they executed a further 30,000 residents, among them suspected Soviet partisans and, after a brief period of toleration, Ukrainian nationalists. 80,000 people died of hunger, cold and disease. 60,000 were forcibly transported to Germany as slave workers (Ostarbeiter).
By the time of Kharkiv's liberation in August 1943, the surviving population had been reduced to under 200,000. Seventy percent of the city had been destroyed.According to a New York Time's piece, "The city was more battered than perhaps any other in the Soviet Union save Stalingrad."
Hi from Kharkiv. We hate Russia
Минск пострадал больше.
But in reality retreating Soviet army made much more harm to civilians in Kharkiv than Germans did.

The city was well organized and clean. There was no looting. You look around and notice a peaceful civilian population, which shows that the German troops had respect for civilians (obviously not for the Jews and Bolsheviks). You can say anything, but the German occupation of the areas conquered during the Axis advance was not one tenth as terrifying as the areas occupied by the Red Army in the following years.
No
Lmao!!! Look at Generalplan OST then talk
AMAZING Footage. I assumed the city would have suffered much more destruction. I'm more familiar with the second battle of Kharkov than the first one.
Самое интересное в етом видео ето вообще не разрушеный город,огромное количество гражданских людей на улицах спокойно передвигаються,да и вывески на зданиях много уже на немецком ето понятно для немцев.Но остальные вывески как говорят в( русском)Харькове почему то на Украинском язике.

Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it!
Looks like the city was surrendered without much of a fight.
Good analysis! And you would be correct, the Red Army saved the city by doing a full retreat!
Да, благодаря тому, что город был сдан Красной армией практически без боя, он уцелел.
Но потом, когда ситуация изменилась и Красная армия пошла в наступление, за Харьков велись упорные бои и он переходил из рук в руки несколько раз. Кроме того нацисты при отступлении всё взрывали. Поэтому Харьков был разрушен до основания. Он был вторым после Сталинграда по степени разрушенности среди советских городов.
@@Дмитрий_Тихомироввесьма брехливая информация в российском стиле. Практически все здания на этом видео сохранились до наших дней. Разве что некоторые из них повреждены российскими бомбардировками. Харьков во время ВОВ гораздо больше пострадал от советской армии, чем от немцев.

Wow, they had 4k cameras back in 1942. Amazing.
Amazing footage 😮
very interesting material, especially since it is the beginning of colorful films, especially amateur ones. The Germans shot on Agfa and the Americans on Kodak and at that initial time the differences in color reproduction were best visible.
Regarding the film, I look at German military vehicles with interest, some of them look really strange and probably did not good work because after the war there was no continuation of this technical idea (but this is a layman's observation). The city looks well-kept, the streets are solid and many buildings are in the modernist style, i.e. the style that prevailed before, during and shortly after the war. You could say I'm surprised by the high standard for the Soviet Union at that time.
In the discussion, someone wrote about skinny people, but I think it only looks that way because now we have a lot of fat people consuming unhealthy food and lack of exercise.
Cities are usually destroyed when they are fought over and this is still to be understood, but there are many examples of barbarism on many sides where cities were destroyed when there was no more fighting, for example Warsaw by the Germans after the fall of the Warsaw Uprising, or German cities in 1945 after the capture by the Soviets (Opole was captured almost without damage, but for many weeks it was plundered, set on fire and demolished by Soviet soldiers, and we got such a destroyed city for the lost eastern territories) or the Americans destroyed Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki.
There is a discussion here about Russia and Ukraine, but it is a topic that will last for months and is not entirely understandable to me.
Ukraine certainly did not take advantage of its opportunity for development after 1991, for most of the time there was stagnation and now there is war. It's not up to me to make a diagnosis, but from my observations, a lot of bad things happened due to corruption, oligarchy, and bad regulations. This blocked the development of the middle class, many people became very rich, but not because they did something well or modernized it, but because they corrupted someone and the regulations worked to their advantage and blocked the development of other people, honest but inventive. Russia has always Russified the conquered nations, so after such a long time they believe that everything is theirs, even Crimea, where Tatars lived 300 years ago. They don't mind that they evicted the Tatars, the important thing is that it's warm and you can come on holiday, and those who have a lot of money have villas there. It's just a pity for those guys who go to fight for a few pennies, murder others and finally die themselves without knowing whose cause.
Now look at what the Russian occupiers are doing to the city in 2024.
This is my hometown. I was surprised to see the same buildings that I see now in the center of Kharkiv. But that was 82 years ago. And how it looked then. Thank you for the super quality color historical chronicle! Greetings from Ukraine!
Interesting moment for me that in 1942 most Cyrillic signboard are written in Ukrainian and nothing in russian. Why interesting ? because Kharkiv became mostly russian speaking at the end of USSR times.
Kharkiv was predominantly Russian, but by the 1920s/30s, the population completely shifted to Ukrainian. The Soviet Union loved to move populations around and change territorial boundaries, and these changes have led to so many conflicts in ex-USSR countries.
@@MaximusandHistory divide et impera
очень интересный материал, тем более, что это начало красочных фильмов, особенно любительских. Немцы снимали на Агфа, а американцы на Кодак и на тот начальный момент различия в цветопередаче были видны лучше всего.
Что касается фильма, то я с интересом смотрю на немецкую военную технику, некоторые из них выглядят действительно странно и, наверное, не очень хорошо сработали, потому что после войны не было продолжения этой технической идеи (но это наблюдение обывателя). Город выглядит ухоженным, улицы добротные, многие здания построены в стиле модерн, то есть в том стиле, который преобладал до, во время и вскоре после войны. Можно сказать, что я удивлен высоким уровнем жизни Советского Союза того времени.
В обсуждении кто-то писал о худых людях, но мне кажется, это только так выглядит, потому что сейчас у нас много полных людей, потребляющих нездоровую пищу и мало занимающихся спортом.
Города обычно разрушаются, когда за них ведутся бои, и это еще предстоит понять, но есть много примеров варварства со многих сторон, когда города разрушались, когда боев больше не было, например, Варшава немцами после падения Варшавской Варшавы. Восстание, или Немецкие города в 1945 году после захвата Советами (Ополе было захвачено почти без повреждений, но в течение многих недель его грабили, поджигали и разрушали советские солдаты, и за потерянные восточные территории нам достался вот такой разрушенный город ) или американцы разрушили Дрезден, Хиросиму, Нагасаки.
Здесь идет дискуссия о России и Украине, но это тема, которая будет длиться месяцами и мне не совсем понятна.
Украина, конечно, не воспользовалась своей возможностью для развития после 1991 года, большую часть времени был застой, а сейчас идет война. Не мне ставить диагноз, но, по моим наблюдениям, из-за коррупции, олигархии и плохого регулирования произошло много плохого. Это заблокировало развитие среднего класса, многие люди стали очень богатыми, но не потому, что они что-то сделали хорошо или модернизировали, а потому, что кого-то развратили и регламент работал им на пользу и блокировал развитие других людей, честных, но изобретательных. Россия всегда русифицировала покоренные народы, поэтому спустя столь долгое время они считают, что все принадлежит им, даже Крым, где 300 лет назад жили татары. Они не против, что татар выселили, главное, чтобы было тепло и можно было приехать на отдых, а у тех, у кого много денег, были там виллы. Просто жаль тех ребят, которые идут воевать за несколько копеек, убивают других и в конце концов умирают сами, не зная, по чьей причине.
If you had no context of year or what situation was happening it would almost seem peaceful.
I'm surprised there were no swastikas flying anywhere.
What?! No corpses on streets, no ruins and no violence??
Это после боёв, трупы убрали, расстреливали советских граждан в тюрьмах и концлагерях. Да и на видео не попали б убийства и расправы.
