Thanks, that one does work...interesting footage.
Very interesting. Thanks for posting that.
Interesting footage indeed.
I wonder if the Americans gave them fuel. I also wonder whether the civilians riding with the Germans were scared of the Soviets, scared of the Czechs (possibly Sudeten Germans?) or were German civilians working for the Wehrmacht.

Yes, the war bride option was also in the back of my mind, but in that case they'd be in category 1 and 2.
Well, I'm all for saving young ladies in distress. ;)
And using time machines to do so, you can rescue them from old people's homes by now.
I noticed a handful of these guys waving and smiling for the camera. They were probably pretty ready to get on with the "peace" by this point.
Very interesting to watch. Thanks for posting!
