Aerial views from an airplane flying over the ruins of Braunschweig Germany, right after the end of World War 2, in Europe. Whole city blocks of buildings have been reduced to empty spaces and skeletons of buildings remain elsewhere. At first glance, a large building surrounded by trees seems undamaged, but closer examination shows it roof completely destroyed. However another large building in those woods does appear undamaged. Roadways and some areas appear cleared of debris. Almost all buildings have been destroyed. Aircraft films from higher altitude, showing miles of territory surrounding the city. Closer view at lower altitude shows the scenic river, Oker, bounded by trees and nearby houses with all windows and most roofs gone. At TC: 02:07 the Brunswick Cathedral is seen near the few other relatively undamaged buildings.
