Time Travel back to wonderful Europe in the 1930's in color! [A.I. Enhanced & Colorized]

You can now go on a wonderful long trip back in time to Europe as it was shortly before WWII. This time-travel journey lasts nearly an hour (!) and takes you to a large number of European countries like Portugal (Lisbon), Gibraltar, England, Algeria, Italy (Scicily, Palermo, Capri & Naples), Monaco, France (Nice), Switzerland (Geneva, Alps), Nazi Germany (Rhine trip, Cologne, Münich, Berlin, Potzdam, Hamburg), Belgium (Brussels), Austria (Vienna), Hungary (Budapest) and back to the US on the Queen Mary via Hamburg.

The exact date of the film is unknown. Prelinger mentions that possibly it were two trips in 1935 and 1936. However, I found an "Agfa 1938" frame while editing this film, which would also correspond better with the footage of pre-war Nazi Germany. The route that this film follows shows that it most likely was not shot during one holiday in Europe. For that the order of the scenes is far too illogic.

For more details, see the time line below.

The original B&W film has been drastically enhanced by means of modern A.I. video software. Among other it has been motion-stabilized, slightly speed-corrected and further enhanced. Colorization was done with the great "DeOldify" software.

We don't have enough nice copyright-free music to fill nearly an hour of film footage. Therefore this film is silent.
