Man, I love this type of art. So expressive, so emotional, so QUICK! I can't believe the creativity in some people.
ReplyDeleteWow--that's amazing work.
ReplyDeleteI was curious too so I read through a bunch of the comments on YouTube. Here are some relevant explanations:
ReplyDeleteAbout 1:30 is the radio announcement of the first Nazi attack.

Many reasons to cry.
Thank you for sharing that--amazing. And thanks to OTRsis for the explanations.

Awesome.
