I thought these were exceptionally well colorized, since I normally don't like that technique.

One of the wonderful things about the internet is being able to share marvelous information, such as this uncanny video into the past. I love history (local, national, world,) and the people who lived through it all to bring us to our present day.

I think it was done very carefully. The colorization is not garish.
How can you violate the photographer's intent when there was no color photography? Maybe they would have preferred color. I know that Ansel Adams took some of his pictures in color, and really enjoyed doing it. But it was expensive in his day.

74. FWIW, the Nazis are standing in Munich,
|
at the Feldherrenhalle. In November 1923 Hitler had tried to take over the country in 1923 starting with a riot in Munich at that place. This putsch failed, some Nazis were killed, and Hitler was convicted to prison. When he finally won the Nazis had a commemoration there at every 9th of November (I think the combination of 9 and 11 are the real numbers of misfortune, who cares about 13?).
They had also a guard of honour there 24/7 and every citizen who was walking by had to do the Hitlergruß - all the way long. So everybody avoided the place and went through a tiny alleyway behind the Feldherrenhalle. They called it Drückebergergässchen, which means skulker street. 
The Feldherrenhalle was built in 1844 imitating the Loggia Dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy. from Munich!
