Re: Soviet exhibition of captured German weapons
Very interesting footage of that display - I had never seen color movies filmed by Russian photographers to cover the war. Based on the camouflage finish of the aircraft, the color rendition in the film looks very accurate. The director of this film appears to have followed a practice used by photographers for National Geographic magazine in the early days of color photography: pose someone wearing red in the photo - the people walking back and forth in the background look familiar from one scene to another (probably staged), and several of the young women are fashionably attired in red dresses !
