Rare footage From World War 11
Footage showing surrendering troops to US Army. southern Bohemia, Czechoslovakia 1945. Isn't strange that some Germans still carry weapons when surrendering plus a few shots from Prague.

Great footage! Interesting mix of German troops. A lot more Waffen SS than I expected. But then , like all German troops, and more than most, they clearly wanted to surrender to the Americans instead of the Russians.
