Ich bekomme Gänsehaut als ich diese Video sehe, und ich fühle eine tiefe Traurigkeit in meinem Herzen, zu sehe wie diese schöne Stadt, die ich auf den ersten Blick liebte und die so zertört wurde, ICH wünsche uns allen, nie wieder einen Krieg.
Lucky the cathedral survived the bombing. The destruction of the city was a terrible loss and the post-war rebuilding a depressing example of soulless modernism.
Danke für diesen Film, ich bin froh dass ich erst nach dem Krieg geboren bin. Die Frau Herr nochmal als Zeitzeuge zu sehen fand ich besonders schön, ich habe Sie noch in guter Erinnerung. LG aus dem Bergischen Land
It's unfortunate for me and others who don't know the German language well enough to follow the narration. It is a shame really, because the visuals show a city of great architecture beauty..
Meine Ur Oma lebte damals in Köln. Als Köln bombardiert war, da zog sie nach Langenfeld. Dort kamen 45 die Amis U irgendetwas passierte mit ihr. Sie hatte ihre Camera im Garten vergraben... Ich kann es mir denken, was passiert war. Deshalb zog sie wieder weg U wartete auf Ur Opa U ihren Sohn. Ur Opa kam wieder... Der Sohn fiel in Stalingrad.
As a British person, born in the mid 1950's I find it heartbreaking that this beautiful and cultured country, had to go to war because of the warped ideals of one man. I have visited Germany many times, and I am so pleased to see its renaissance after World War 2. I pray that we have peace between our nations, and never have to take up arms ever again.
Das ist eine schöne Doku, die noch mal Bilder aus Köln vor dem Krieg zeigt. Allerdings empfinde ich die riesengroße dauerhafte Einblendung "Köln im Dritten Reich" doch als sehr störend. Wäre das nicht auch etwas kleiner gegangen?
God please forbid that there should ever be wars like the 1st world war where me dear grandads had to go off and fight.And then followed by even more horrors of the war caused by the hiddeous evil nazis that included the worst crime in history The Holocaust !
First 3 mins: 1939, last summer of peace. It was a beautiful summer, not only in germany. Cologne is the capital of modern transport. New bridges are built, new Autobahnen and car factories too. Newspaper are full of propaganda against poland.
Until ca 5:30 : Germany against the world, first they win everything. People are in love with hitler and his ideology. Cologne is center of transportation, first for troups but in 41 also for deportations to the camps. Forced Labour is used to build stuff, people wonder where they all come from and why many foreigners are intelligent, speak multiple languages despite being "subhumans".
Until 6:40 : From 42 mass bombing really starts. People have to live in the cellars and naturally ask themselves if this is how it goes now until the end or if there will be a decisions to end the war.
The massive bombing campaign from 1942-45 was, in my opinion, not only not necessary but counterproductive. General Patton complained about the debris getting in the way of his tanks. Of course, Germany attacked Rotterdam, London, Coventry, etc. However, what we did was far worse. I think part of this was because President Roosevelt wanted to build up the economy, which benefited greatly from the war. Certainly, the U.S. paid a small price in terms of blood. We had 407,000 dead, fighting the Axis over four years. COVID caused more deaths over just one year.
Here we again, makes me sick! The bald truth is, we retaliated to stem the rein of an evil tyrant, who would have had us all subjugated! So we made some errors of judgement along the way, we were fighting a terrible war! Too bad! Be thankful that, as Churchill said, the free world gave blood sweat and tears, which is why you have the freedoms today which you enjoy! I’m sick,of this armchair warrior mindset, which attempts to criticise and demean our efforts to win the struggle, a struggle which this country neither wanted or asked for!
@@johnlunnun9769 perfectly said! I total agree, both my uncles fought in WW11 . Germany brought all the destruction upon themselves for the choices they made in following a mad man.
To all you bleeding hearts: who started the damn war? The German people who followed a psychotic madman into a worldwide apocalypse reaped what they had sown....
History has recorded the strategic error that Hitler made, switching from the bombing of RAF airfields to the blitz on London, Coventry and many other U.K. cities. My home town of Eastbourne was a seaside town with no strategic value to the Germans, but many citizens were killed in random terror bombings. 42 people were killed when the large Marks and Spencer store was bombed. The central library was destroyed, many residential homes flattened. Did the German people seriously think that they would not receive a taste of their own medicine? Bomber Harris ensured the German people would never make war again.
The Germans had no democratic tradition on a larger scale, so historians drew the conclusion that it was the absolute defeat and destruction that lead the West Germans to accept pluralism. But below the line, carpet airraids against civilians remain war crimes, even as responses of war crimes committed. This should be undisputed.
@@filmschatzarchiv it had to be made clear, unlike the end of the Great War, that Germany lost the war and that there was a price to be paid if you start a war. But I agree that bombing civilians is a war crime nonetheless.
@@TheHesseJames I don’t want to justify WWII, but you may not forget, that the German people were deeply frustrated after WWI. Germany didn’t start the war but was forced to join Austria due to loyalty treaties. The treaty of Versailles took some important areas from Germany, especially in the east. The loss on the western borders war legitimated by referendums. In the East, Poland already moved many kilometres to the West. On the other hand the reparations wich had to be payed especially to France broke the back of the German Economy. As a major European economic power since about 1850, this damage was one of the reasons for the inflation and crisis in the late 1920s. People were freezing and starving to death. You also may not forget, that Britain was Poland‘s security power and didn’t stop provoking. The British government didn’t intervene during the German offensive against Poland, but made use of a very aggressive diplomacy against Germany. Hitlers‘ original plans didn’t foresee a war against Britain, the commonwealth or the US. He wanted to punish France for Versailles and Poland for West Prussia and Upper Silesia. Hitler should have stopped after the Munich agreement and the offensive against Poland. That would have united nearly all Germans without revenge offensives of the allies.
Kurze Frage, wieso wird die ganze Zeit auf die Idylle und die tolle Vorkrirgszeit gesprochen aber nicht über deportierungen und vernichtung von Menschenleben? Hier wird stetig eine Ooferrole bemüht oder was sagt ihr so dazu ?
Ganz Recht. Deportierungen der Juden und anderer den Nazis mißliebiger Bevölkerungsgruppen wurde auch in Köln und von Köln aus betrieben. Die meisten kamen niemals zurück. Gleichzeitig hatte Köln im Luftkrieg 20000 Tote zu beklagen, zum allergrößten Teil Zivilisten. Sie alle waren Opfer, was sonst ?
@@michaelengel3407 🙂👋Ja sowas, sei gegrüßt! Dieser Kanal wurde mir vorgeschlagen. Pass auf, dir wird jetzt von "NoNazis89" der Kampfbegriff "Whataboutism" unterstellt, also praktisch das, was er selbst macht.
Die Bombenangriffe auf Köln waren furchtbar und in Köln hatte man es nach dem Krieg jedoch versäumt, es wieder so historisch aufzubauen wie in anderen Städten geschehen

Da sind halt die Nazis dran Schuld, hätte auch kein Mitleid mit Deutschen gehabt nach all dem was Deutschland verbrochen hat.

Wir besuchten Koln im Mai 2018.
Eine gute Entscheidung.
Sehr interessant.
Por que no reconstruyeron las ciudades de Alemania tal y como eran?????? Colonia eras preciosa
To expensive and to much time...
Das Ganze in Begleitung Gustav Mahlers (5. Symphonie / 2 Adagio)...
can someone tell me what are they saying? in a few words. thanks.
This is Cologne. It was destroyed during the war. The end.
The total war and bombing of Cologne!

Catedral intacta....milagro?.....no. eran un punto de referencia en cada ataque aéreo.
Hometown of my first boss, "Frau" Sybil Jung. Between 1974 and 1977 we worked at the Brazilian branch of Hoechst AG.
Why do you use quotation marks ? Isn't she female ?
