Rare color and b&w home movies filmed by L. J. Kreutzer at the 76th General Hospital in Liege, Belgium during 1944 -1945, plus footage shot in France and Germany.

--You'll see scenes of men and women in uniform watching a flag raising ceremony with the US flag at half-mast. There are some good panning shots of the huge tent-hospital complex and surrounding buildings, footage of nurses, doctors, a chaplain, and soldiers in various places around the camp. You'll see German POW's walking by with lunch pails, a man dressed as St. Nicholas wearing an Army helmet, and large formations of planes flying high overhead. You'll see some sights in Liege while driving through the city.
--In Paris you'll see the Arc de Triomphe with a gigantic French flag flying in the arch, and busy streets and sidewalks filled with soldiers and civilians.
--The Germany footage includes a sign, "Entering Germany -- Be On Your Guard", and views of deserted streets in a town. You'll see damaged German planes in a field and battle-damaged buildings. There's some great footage of a nurse or WAC holding a statue-head of Hitler, pretending to throw it, then sitting on it and slowly spinning around.
