Thank you for posting this! Love the channel. It has significance for me because my grandfather died in Auschwitz, my uncle in Bergen Belsen. My mother and her mother were Holocaust survivors. Again, thank you. Never, never, ever forget. God bless you and yours always. Thanks again for everything you do!!

I lived in Germany from 1959 to 1962 and this video seems from about that era. I saw an E-type Jaguar on the Autobahn, and they first appeared in 1961. I remember seeing my first one at the Officer's Club at Kelley Barracks near Stuttgart. I visited Dachau in about 1961 when my father was in the Army in Germany. When I saw Siegsdorf on the Autobahn sign I knew they were heading toward Berchtesgaden, and recognized the Watzmann mountain in the background and knew she was at the Obersalzburg. I take it some of those were the ruins of the Berghof and other houses of the Third Reich bigwigs. This was confirmed when the camera showed the Kehlstein Haus, otherwise known as the Eagle's Nest. Love the various videos on this channel.
Thank you for these comments and for confirming some of the locations. We were trying to determine at what point the U.S. Army left Camp Dachau, as that would probably help narrow down the dates. The Jaguar clue is terrific. Glad you like our channel. Want to go behind the scenes? Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/PeriscopeFilm
This is stunning photography for a home movie. I wish we knew more about the photographer and the woman on screen. Her red shoes, skirt, and jacket are so vivid and alive in the middle of one of the darkest places in history, Dachau. It's almost a reverse of Steven Spielberg's movie "Schindler's List," filmed without color except for the young girl deliberately colored in a bright red coat. To see what happened to that girl is devastating, but this home movie seems to bring life back to these evil places. Filmed about 20 years after the end of WWII in Europe, this film really shows how far Germany had recovered (although I tried to see if there were still scars from the war) and it was fascinating to see life at that time (so many VW "Beetles!") I visited this area in 1997 and think I took the same part of the Autobahn; I thought some scenes included Lake Chiemsee on the left of the road. I stayed at the old Armed Forces Recreation Center which was the first rest stop on the Autobahn. There is old footage of Hitler staying in the same place (it was eerie walking in those footsteps; now I understand the place is a clinic) but missed seeing Eagle's Nest. In any event, I salute Periscope Films for its wonderful work in preserving all of these old films, no matter what the subject. Thank you for preserving history.
the countryside towns and the cemeteries were very well kept and very beautiful.. at the time we were living in government housing the Zugspitze mountains were spectacular.
Rod Serling made Dachau "famous" by using it as the basis for his 1961 "TWILGHT ZONE" episode, "Deaths-Head Revisited", in which a former Nazi officer visits his former stomping grounds, and finds the ghosts of his victims waiting for him. They effectively render him insane by forcing him to relive all the pain and torture he inflicted upon them. As he's being transported to a nearby hospital {and eventually, an insane asylum}, the doctor who examined him looks around the former concentration camp, and wonders....... "Dachau. Why does it still stand? WHY do we keep it standing?" Rod Serling provides the answer {and the coda}- *"There is an answer to the doctor's question. All the Dachaus must remain standing. The Dachaus, the Belsens, the Buchenwalds, the Auschwitzes; all of them. They must remain standing because they are a monument to a moment in time, when some men decided to turn the Earth into a graveyard. Into it they shoveled all of their reason, their logic, their knowledge- but worst of all, their conscience. And the moment we forget this, the moment we cease to be haunted by its remembrance, then we become the gravediggers. Something to dwell on and to remember- not only in the Twilight Zone, but wherever men walk God's Earth."*
The (important) boards in the museum are multilingual, but if anyone sees anything they want translated...let me know I recognize some of the old branch names that no longer exist...at least in Austria. However, construction sites on the streets are tricky for the summer - a small warning for those who want to vacation in the city -these can be very annoying
The musical score @ 4:28 became just a tad too cheery - considering the location and the events surrounding it. Nonetheless - these posts are highly appreciated. Thank you.
They didn't bomb the city because they didn't want to risk hitting the concentration camp or working sites, where they would also hit inmates of the camp. Also, Dachau had almost no relevant industry, and every industry there was also had inmates working there.
I dig her poppy-reddish suit, Porsche-type car running through, Shell oil stand, etc. But the most important thing in the homemade movie is ...... Thanks.

I visited this camp in the spring of 1997. One of the most sobering experiences in my life. 😞

While in Germany in 1973 I went and visited and paid my respects at this somber 😢 place

the countryside towns and the cemeteries were very well kept and very beautiful.. at the time we were living in government housing the Zugspitze mountains were spectacular.
Hard to imagine that was less than two decades after the liberation. Two decades ago we were well into 2002.
I visited Dachau in the mid-80s. What a heavy and sobering place. Fascinating from a historical perspective but disturbing on a human level.
For the people wondering about the change in music, I assume it's because the footage is transitioning to the town, i.e. it's no longer the camp.
Visited area in late 80's
Late 90's for me.

amazing. i worked at the memorial site for 12 years. amazing to see the footage from way back in the 1960's
The (important) boards in the museum are multilingual, but if anyone sees anything they want translated...let me know
I recognize some of the old branch names that no longer exist...at least in Austria. However, construction sites on the streets are tricky for the summer - a small warning for those who want to vacation in the city -these can be very annoying
These are just awesome I thank you!
I'm curious to see where some of those shots were taken. Would love to visit them once I've gone through my Cancer treatment
Good luck and get into remission ... thanks for your comment.
@@PeriscopeFilm thanks 🤙👍 and keep up with the good work you do here.
I do love watching some of the history videos you post as they are informative
The musical score @ 4:28 became just a tad too cheery - considering the location and the events surrounding it. Nonetheless - these posts are highly appreciated. Thank you.
NEVER MORE
NEVER MORE
NEVER MORE
They didn't deserve to have the city undestroyed. Glad to know tela vev is beautiful too
They didn't bomb the city because they didn't want to risk hitting the concentration camp or working sites, where they would also hit inmates of the camp. Also, Dachau had almost no relevant industry, and every industry there was also had inmates working there.
Музыка как из триллера. Настораживает. ))
what happened there wasn't that nice either....
The music is definitely an interesting choice. Definitely gives a weird vibe
Why the jolly circus music???
We don't know. If you read the description on UA-cam, we don't know who the filmmaker was or why they chose this music.
Take it easy, That was a different time so whoever shot the film chose it for a particular purpose. Why it was chosen will remain a mystery
I dig her poppy-reddish suit, Porsche-type car running through, Shell oil stand, etc.
But the most important thing in the homemade movie is ......
Thanks.
