Invasion Scenes - Europe (1945)

Unissued / unused footage - dates and locations may be unknown / unclear. Man holds up card reading ’30 April 45 - Hitler’s Room Lansberg (?) Lansberger’. Several exterior shots of a large country house or stately home (Hindenburg?). Several shots of a prison and camp. Pan across the deserted and ruined camp with the fences lying on the ground. Interior shots of two soldiers looking in a prison cell with bars on the windows, a portrait of Hitler on the wall and a Nazi swastika flag hanging up. Allied tanks move along country fields and roads - in Germany? Mountains seen in the background. We approach a truck with its contents set on fire. Driving on through a town, German soldiers walk towards us with arms raised in surrender. Tanks travelling along country road break through a barricade of logs. German soldiers come walking across a field in surrender. Shots at a prison camp of inmates running towards camera, cheering and waving their hats in jubilation. Seem to be Allied soldiers.
