I think this is real. They were starting making colored films in the late 1930s, and therefore it is a good chance that it was not shot in black and white and colored later. However, the technique was almost new then, and so the cost would have been prohibative to shoot films in color. So therefore there would not have been that many.

I wonder if this real, because many documentary films that I have watched about WWII is black and white, especially for the European WWII. I never watcht it in color, even a color photo from European WWII documentary.

Colour film was about in the 1940s and there is origional footage that was shot on colour film. Most though was shot on black and white film. Recently though I think that a good deal of work has been done in "colourising" this black and white footage to present a more "modern" viewing experience. This sort of thing can be done easily with modern video editing equipment.

what a fantastic technology, made the documentary so life with color. I wonder how they do that?
