African American soldiers of 369th Infantry, 93rd Division, U.S. Army marching on road in Maffrecourt, France, during World War I
African American soldiers of the 369th Infantry Regiment, 93rd Division ("Harlem Hellfighters"), United States Army, march in formation along a road in Maffrecourt, France, in World War 1. They are led by mounted officers, and a brass band (likely under the direction of band leader Lt. James Reese Europe). Unit leaders salute as they pass the camera. Mules pull several artillery pieces and caissons. Several medics march with stretchers. The U.S. flag is the only one carried by the color guard. No unit colors are seen. The 369th Infantry soldiers wear French helmets because they were assigned to the French Army during the war, as the U.S. Army (American Expeditionary Forces) did not permit African Soldiers in combat.
U.S. Army soldiers guard German SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV) prisoners of war being held near a village.
United States Army soldiers guarding a group of German SS prisoners of war who are being held near a village. Cameraman slate indicates location of "Wittring" (presumably Wittring France, just outside the German border, in the Moselle region), but U.S. government record accompanying the film indicates "Wittring, (?) Germany" (sic). A wheel cart is seen on the street. The German prisoners of war have SS markings on their right lapel and also the SS skull insignia on the cap, identifying them most likely as part of the SS-Totenkopfverbände or SS-TV; also called Death's Head units. (Theories on these captured soldiers include: 1) SS-TV units were primarily in charge of administering the Nazi Concentration Camps in World War II. Hinzert Concentration Camp was possibly the closest camp to Wittring. Perhaps these soldiers came from it or another camp; 2) They may have been part of the 3rd SS Panzer Division. Reportedly, whole platoons and elements of the 3rd SS Panzer division were not following orders and were giving up prior to the Budapest and Vienna battles to avoid Soviet captivity, as early as Jan 1945). Prisoners rub their hands to warm them in the cold. Camera shows a close-up view of one of the prisoners, as an American soldier attaches a Prisoner of War identification tag over around the neck of the prisoner.

Nuremberg trial transcripts of 13 December, 1945 include the following excerpted descriptions of the footage spoken by U.S. Commander William J. Donovan: "This is a strip of motion pictures taken, we believe, by a member of the S.S., and captured by the United States military forces in an S.S. barracks near Augsburg, Germany...We have not been able to establish beyond doubt in which area these films were made...The film offers undeniable evidence, made by Germans themselves, of almost incredible brutality to Jewish people in the custody of the Nazis, including German military units. It is believed by the prosecution that the scene is the extermination of a ghetto by Gestapo agents, assisted by military units...This film was made on an eight millimetre home camera...The pictures obviously were taken by an amateur photographer...it is burned...This is a silent film....I wish to...direct the Tribunal's attention to certain of the scenes.
