Re: Colour Luftwaffe Guncamera Footage

Christian:

As a stickler for authenticity, I believe there is a real distinction between genuine colour footage and colorised material, so thanks for your advice.

In the spirit on Nick's comments, having seen some colour footage via sources such as the Second World War in Colour television series and segments from the Deutsche Wochenschau, the quality does vary significantly and the colour range shown is highly variable. Is it always clear cut as to whether footage is genuine colour material, or colorised? I don't claim any particular knowledge and would advice from an expert.

As Etienne says, please share those (genuine) colour images - after all, Agfa was a world leader in colour film technology in the 1930s/early 1940s and there must still be fresh material out there!

Cheers
