Thank you Tom; I have seen some of George Steven's color footage at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in DC but, never the completed documentary; George Stevens" From D-Day to Berlin".
The Dachau footage was or is (not certain now) an Exhibit at the U.S. Museum.

My understanding is that Stevens' color film of Dachau & Deben was used as Exhibits at the Nuremberg Trials. I am not certain but, perhaps more footage was used at Nuremberg under Film ID# 4291, #4292, #4293, 94, 95 & 96.
Thanks for bringing this up, Tom. I'm going to find today. I spent the 6th watching Spielberg's Private Ryan. The biggest nit I can pick with that film is that Tom Hanks and his men didn't make the "impossible" climb up Pointe du Hoc .
The only part of Private Ryan I can stand is the first act, on Omaha Beach, which had to be the most on-the-nose depiction of hell ever put on-sceen. Charles Durning, who was there on the beach at age 18, was invited to a screening of the movie by Spielberg; he ran out of the room 15 minutes in and refused to go back. The staging of the second act, the "search," is pure Hollywood WW2 movie, and I would have shot the coward in the face the first time he wouldn't pick up his gun and use it in the third act - the "urban battle." His cowardice got his own side nearly wiped out. I watched the whole movie once, when it first came out 26 years ago.

Yes, it was used at both. Seeing a concentration camp and the aftermath in color is totally different from B&W, which can "distance" the viewer.

Keep up your good work, my friend.

Today I started watching Band of Brothers. When it came out, I didn’t have HBO, but it’s now on Netflix.
It's the ten best war movies ever done. The one show I have ever seen where everything was done right, to perfection.
