Goofs
The commentator indicates that the Rhine is an important waterway serving as a main outlet for Germany, Belgium and Holland. Actually the Rhine serves as an outlet for France but not Belgium.

Quotes
James A. FitzPatrick: The gray atmosphere which now hangs over Cologne acts as an appropriate shroud for a city which has not yet rid itself of the scars of war. Almost two-thirds of this historic metropolis was pulverized by bombs - but fortunately, the bombers took particular care to save the ancient and world-famous cathedral of Cologne.

Too Soon?

This was released in 1953, eight years after the war ended. As I watched happy Germans dancing in a 'local wine garden'; I couldn't help but think of the effect it may have had on American veterans, or their widows, orphans and relatives in the audience when this was unexpectedly sprung on them, Of the more than 16 million Americans who served, 2 million served in Europe, of which there were 552,117 U.S. casualties in the European theater of operations. Of those, 104,812 were killed in action. I believe this would have brought back too many bad memories to too many people in the audience, and was ill-advised.
