M/S rear view Montgomery's motor caravan. C/U Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery speaking at war's end. Natural sound as he pays tribute to U.S. and Soviet Allies. He says difficult times may lie ahead, but discipline will pull people through for the benefit of the community. He says those who are left are thankful they have been preserved. Interior M/S as an army signaller works a Morse code key (natural sound) in an army truck. M/S interior tent on Luneberg Heath. Montgomery invites the high ranking German officers including General-Admiral von Friedeberg and General Kienzl to sit down. Some good shots as Montgomery dictates surrender terms to Germans and signs them.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
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.
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.
Animals are often the forgotten army of World War I. They displayed unwavering courage even when exposed to extreme conditions. British Pathé pay tribute to these forgotten warriors.
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.
British Pathé filmed the 20th Century's biggest names, some of them before they even became famous. Click through and guess who these soon-to-be celebrities were when first captured by our cameras.
