Thank you so much for posting. Seeing it in color makes it look so different than most WWII-era videos——much more recent, more “real”, somehow. And it makes me cry, because my dad was still in Europe then, and I wonder what he was doing that day.

Pretty cool footage. Of course, most of the time I was watching I couldn’t help but think “Yeah, nowadays, they’d be ticketed, they’d be arrested, ticketed, ticketed, arrested...”

My Dad was a family doctor serving a rural area and was thus not drafted during the war, but he told some very poignant stories of the war on the home front. He talked about being called to the local railroad depot where the depot agent had just received the telegram from the War Department that his own son was killed in action.

Did Kodachromes at that time record sound?

I was wondering if the sounds of the people cheering and the airplanes flying overhead were edited-in.
