Berlin 1945, color film footage showing life in the destroyed city (SFP 186)
After Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945, General Arnold ordered Lt. Col. Owen Crump to document the extent of the damage caused by aerial bombardment. This project was code-named "Special Film Project 186." Crump and his crew, using color film, surveyed bomb damage inflicted on the major European cities. In addition, Crump recorded the debriefings of Nazi civilian and military personnel in Allied custody such as Herman Goering, as well as the capture of the Ohrdruf and Buchenwald concentration camps by American soldiers.
Crump and his crew shot hundreds of hours of film - most of which has never been seen. The Army Air Force declined to fund the production and editing of the footage at an estimated cost of $1 million. The documentary The Story of Special Film Project 186 points out that the effort was "the biggest color film project of World War II—and the biggest unseen film of all time."
