*ATTENTION* This channel was NEVER intended for debate about contemporary race, war, conflict, conspiracy and controversy related topics, like Ukraine versus Russia, Jews versus Palestinians, Trump versus Biden, Immigration, White versus Black etc. Over the past year I tried *three times* to re-open the comments section. Each time I got very disappointed about the lack of decency, respect and self-control in the comments. Therefore this comments section is *now closed for good* ! I might even delete this video in its entirety. End of Story. *My most important films, including the film transcripts, can now also be watched (in higher quality!) on* archive.org *via my website* : https://www.ricksfilmrestoration.com/indexEN1.htm Part-2 can now be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urcrBycXJMY Please do NOT re-use any of this footage without my prior permission.

NEDERLANDS: ============ Voorafgaand aan de herdenking van de bevrijding van Nederland op 5 mei toont deze film spectaculair ingekleurde beelden van het begin van de Duitse bezetting in mei 1940. In deze documentaire ga je terug naar het begin van de Tweede Wereldoorlog, toen de Duitsers in mei 1940 een wrede aanval op Nederland lanceerden. De film concentreert zich op de bewogen dagen waarin het land zich opmaakt voor oorlog, Rotterdam tot de grond wordt gebombardeerd, de Nederlandse regering capituleert en de Duitsers de controle over het land overnemen. Ook zijn er scènes uit het dagelijks leven tijdens de bezetting te zien en beelden over de NSB-partij. Druk op de CC captions knop voor ondertitels in het Nederlands! Deze video is hersteld, verbeterd en ingekleurd door middel van de nieuwste A.I. videosoftware. Voor het grootste deel van de film is een nieuwe inkleuringsmethode gebruikt die substantieel betere resultaten behaalt dan met de standaard inkleur software die we normaal gebruiken.
