Flying over Berlin, 1945, colour

Saw this on YouTube, have not seen similar before:

There's three reels, that's the "best" one I think. I believe the Reichstag is visible near the start, at the end the camera flies over one of the monumental flak towers.

The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

The flak towers are sexy.

What I can't figure out is how much damage is down to the bombings, and how much to Ivan and his friends Art Illery and Katy Usha.

Is there a way to tell? I assume there's enough folks here who would be able to say "that is/is not arty damage."
