  1. Somebody casually taking his cellphone out to film it and post it on social media while the Nazis drove in the streets.

  2. Imagine WW2 but now everyone has a smartphone. And drones.

  3. Russians are like: whaaaat they fought against nazis 🤯

  4. Was this the main uprising right before the allies entered?

  5. No phones at all, people just living in the moment <3

  6. Any footage of this without the cuts to see the firebombs landing?

  7. cozy sunday viewing ahead of what comes monday…

    its time for the rest of us to start using the phrase “from my cold dead hands” like it was meant to.

  8. So this footage is wild but it feels like there might be some editing or re enactment going on?

  9. I wonder if this footage was inspiration for the molotov in the Marder shot from Saving Private Ryan

  10. This footage is a classic. Never get bored of seeing it again after a “reasonable period”

  11. Just people out there, enjoying the moment. Not a mobile in sight.

  12. Burning nazi’s slightly more enetertaining that burning Russians.

  13. I think Tony Judt was suggesting that resistance in France was very limited.

    The whole country was occupied by a very small number of German military police and a French government without any major challenge. I never realized that before. I thought the French were fighting back all the time.
    That said Tony Judt was English so there’s that.
    But nice footage.
