A glimpse into the past. [Berlin 1945] This made me feel like I seen another world. "Who needs a time machine."

Another World:

I came across this old footage from Berlin in 1945, this was after what they call "The Fall of Berlin". Their city is in ruins, and the people are working with what they have to rebuild and repair. To live in a time and place like this is a really hard thing to wrap your mind around; coming from such a convenient\safe modern time.

There is an aerial view, that really shows the extent of the damage the war caused. As this photographer pans around, showing all of the destruction, I can't help but to imagine the battle that took place there. Imagine being caught up in that. Being apart of it. That's your current reality.

This footage captivated me. It's strange being able to look back into a time that you didn't exist in. Especially when it's remastered in high definition and color. This footage gave me a strong feeling of, "these are different people than we are." Almost as if we have evolved into a different species than them. This is probably the closest thing to a "time machine" you can get.

I guess the reason for this post was, to provoke thoughts, and hopefully bring forth some gratitude that you weren't born in such a hectic time like this.

Enjoy this glimpse into the past.
