I have a question which I hope maybe some one can help me on.
What was more easily accessible during the war years, agfacolor 16mm and 8mm home movie film or American Kodak safety film.

I have acquired a number of original private color home movies from war time Germany and they seem to be 50 50.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks.
Ian

AFAIK the US govt banned all trade with the enemy and ceased the enemy property on US soil thus AGFA US became ANSCO. I don't think the Great Yellow Father had any business in Germany after 1941 but I do know the French branch was active during the early years of war so K films could enter Germany via France or were old stock from pre war times when K offered full lineup of products on the German market.

thank you for the great information !
