Very short color film of Fw190D-9 W.Nr. 500570 Blue 12

Very interesting and posted for general interest. This aircraft was surrendered on May 8, 1945 and was the subject of a popular color picture and other photos of the surrender.

I never know this footage existed, and would love to see more of it. Any sources for the film reel?
