Lost German girl

A short clip from final episode of the "World At War" BBC series. It shows a German girl in despair, clearly wounded and confused, on a country road after the passage of the Red Army, somewhere in Czechoslovakia.

The same girl can be seen in a much longer clip called "Czechoslovakia 1945 in Color" below. This film is also available with an extensive commentary at the Steven Spielberg Film and Video Archive at USHMM.


Extensive discussion on the Axis History Forum dates this footage as of May 8th 1945, while the exact location of the shot and the identity of the girl remain unknown.
