Of course I knew that Berlin was heavily bombed during WWII. I knew it as a series of facts - X many air raids, Y many tons of explosives dropped, Z many deaths. But it was this video of the aftermath, filmed under a blue sky, on a bright sunny day in the summer of 1945, that made it real for me in a completely different way.  In the description of the video are the bare words: "Daily life after years of war." There's nothing I can add to that.
