Film of the London Blitz in colour unseen for 70 years

http://www.facebook.com/NSOTD
Previously unseen colour footage of London during the Blitz has been discovered, after lying in an attic for almost 70 years.

The amateur footage includes images of bombed-out landmarks such as the John Lewis department store - on Oxford Street.

The 20 minute film was shot by the wartime mayor of Marylebone in west London, Alfred Coucher. The film was used as part of a US government propaganda film entitled "Why We Are At War"

Wow, only 16595 views. How close did Britain came to being invaded? One strategic blunder and we all would have been ruled by Nazi Germany...to this day.

I wonder if there is any footage of the Manchester Blitz in colour.

Where can I get the full 20 minutes of this? something like this is so precious it needs to be stored in as many places as possible and releasing it to the public so collectors like myself can add it to our private archives would be the best way of accomplishing this.
