Most film footage you see on television or in the movies, especially the combat footage, was all silent film; the sound you may hear, the guns shooting, the tanks firing, was added later in a photo lab or movie studio. On a Combat Reels movie, you will see it in its original form; you may hear some live sounds for interviews, award ceremonies, briefings; but typically not combat itself. Additionally, a lot of this lost footage is in black and white. Color was just starting to come into existence and was not widely used. Most footage shot by Army photographers in England and the central european continent was shot in black and white, color beginning to gain acceptance in 1945. However, footage shot by the Navy and Coast Guard featured a lot of color, this includes a fair amount in North Africa 1942-1943. In the Pacific there is a lot of color Marine footage.
