Here is an interesting compilation of German footage, which has several clips I found of impact;
- Germans firing a Maxim at British soldiers you can clearly see charging the gun!!
- Germans firing gas shells and the British Soldier who has been gassed in his trench.
- The filming of another film crew at work in the trenches!
- The wholesale distribution of decorations by the German officer at the end!
This is part two of a two part series. SOme purist may object to the colorization, but I find it brings the era and the people to life.
