After the end of WWII, the German heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen was allocated to the US Navy, and was sailed to Boston in January 1946, with a joint German and American crew. The presence of the American flag in this clip makes me think this MAY be film of this event.
If that is the case, then one of the two officers shown is likely, (though not certain to be, as I can't find any photos), to be Captain A. H. Graubart. That might well leave the other officer to be the German Commanding Officer, Captain H.J. Reinicke.
Perhaps someone with more interest and/or knowledge in the Navy or in WWII can confirm or deny this?

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
