[PROCON]

These old WWII color videos are fascinating to watch and think what might have been had Germany won.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The German soldiers were eager to surrender to the Americans. None wanted to surrender to the Communists. The Germans did not need to be coerced into surrendering to the Americans. They willing surrendered.

Now that's what I call surrendering with style.

US troops were a lot nicer to the Germans than the local Czechs were.

After that it became ever more difficult to find an adversary who was both capable and willing to fight us straight up with uniformed forces.

The North Koreans and Chinese managed to fight a war-weary US to a stalemate which still endures, but after that we never fought a regular army until Saddam’s laughable attempt to field one.

Now warfare is full-spectrum, information-based and continuous, not a moment of respite. The times of WWII seem almost idyllic in comparison.

Great find.
Awesome footage! Yeah, the Germans were very happy the Americans showed up. Couple of weeks later would've been the Russians.

I still don't understand why the US troops stopped right there, some miles from the German border. Were they sent to CZ just to save the German soldiers from Russkies?
