Really fascinating film clip of German troops surrendering in Prague at the end of the Second World War.
Some observations.
At 1:07, a US soldier can be seen with a C96 "broomhandle" Mauser pistol in a holster. In a few scenes down the film, the same soldier requires a bunch of German officers to surrender their sidearms.
Overall, these German soldiers are heavily armed with small arms and are still under arms.
At 4:46 an American Lt. Col speaks with a German officer and his driver. The officer, and maybe the driver, have pulled the Nazi cap devices off of their caps.
The German troops are accompanied by a lot of women who are riding out with them. As they are not in Germany, it'd be interesting to know the circumstances that caused the women to be rather obviously riding with them.
