- 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.

- British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.

The release of the prisoners took place on 3 February 1951.
"Alfred Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach German Industrialist" should read Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, German industrialist.
"Krupp walking along with two others, Gen Speidel brother of Chancellor Adenauers military advisor war criminal and Count Schwerin-Krosigh" - I believe that in fact the man with the fur-lined coat seen with Krupp is his brother Berthold von Bohlen und Halbach.
"Gen Speidel" is General Wilhelm Speidel. "Count Schwerin-Krosigh" should read Count Schwerin-Krosigk. Whilst I can't say that either of these two men are actually those seen walking with Krupp they were both certainly released on the same day, and so may well feature within the footage.
