High Water in Wetzlar

[Melvin]

I don't if this has been posted here in the past, but I found these films shot by Oskar Barnack on Youtube, pre-Leica, although by the time of the flood shown here I think the "Ur-Leica" was in action.

p.s. it's better if you turn the sound off.

Very interesting! I know I've seen stills from that film footage in various Leica books. As well, I've been to Wetzlar, so it's interesting to see the town in a much different perspective.
