Here you see footage of the American forces in their leisure time. The footage dates from 1945 after the German surrender and the invasion of the Allied forces in Germany.

GIs when taking a bath in a lake, fishing, getting Christmas presents from their families, writing letters, spending free time together in the camps, attending an improvised performance of German Woman dancing for the GIs, etc.


TOPICS: History; Military/Veterans

Wow, 76 years ago, these brave young men in the video are either very old or have passed on.

Fun stuff to watch, God Bless the Greatest Generation!

Leisure Time for the G.I. in 1945 (in color and HD) 32 mins

I will share this with my friend who happens to home school his 4 children.

He is leaving the USA soon forever because this world here is a bit crazy for his family.
