im living here in Köln( Cologne) and is vry hard to think about scenes like that. all that scenes is vry sad, i cant imagine how many ppls have died here on my street and how many dreams have been broked (sry about my poor english)
Wow. I live near Cologne and it's kinda strange to see all these buildings. Some of them are even still there nowadays, like the Citadel or parts of the "Altstadt"(old parts of Cologne).
This amazing film is now even better - what have you done to it .. whatever it is you have made it so clear in places it is quite unnerving. Excellent film and an important social document in its own right.
