Greetings to everyone from a "newby." My father, uncles and cousins were combatants in the war in Europe. I have been collecting WWII combat militaria since the early 60's. This is my first post on WAF; I look forward to a mutually enjoyable association.
Here is an excellent, high quality color clip from Steven Spielberg's archive of German troops (Heer/SS/Luft) surrendering en masse to American forces in Czechoslovakia. Uniforms, weapons, awards, vehicles - it's all here and lots of it. If you have not seen this previously, I suggest watching the entire 15 min. clip as it's truly an amazing record of a large German surrender (most troops and civilians looked pleased to have survived and to have come under US control and not the Russians):
