This footage was shot in the city of Nuremberg on 26 April 1945, after Nuremberg was taken by units of the U.S. Army. The battle for Nuremberg lasted five days. The capture of Nuremberg by units of the 7th U.S. Army was of high symbolic value; strategically, the largely destroyed Nuremberg was not of particular importance in this phase of the war. The military defense of Nuremberg was hopeless due to the overall situation and the superiority of the US Army. The execution of the Nero command was not possible any more, so that important infrastructure was preserved.

Maybe. But the difference is that it would be extremely stupid to use a nuke on Germany because it would also probably damage countries around them as well as add several more thousands of innocent civilians to the list of those killed in allied bombings raids.

"Запад" большой, также как и "Восток", а про "вечно" даже "вяликие" мира сяго не заикались. И даже если в Вас воплотился дух И. Сталина, даже он очень часто "hat kleine Brötchen gebacken". Маленькое замечание: позаботьтесь о своём здоровье и старайтесь не надорваться. Нам на этом "Западе" соответственно хочется прожить хотя бы завтрашний день, а про послезавтрашний лучше и не заикаться.
