The D-Day Cameramen Who Filmed Normandy Invasion on June 6, 1944 - WWII Then & Now
From Omaha Beach to Utah Beach: On D-Day, June 6, 1944, at least four detachments of the 165th Signal Photographic Company landed on the coast of Normandy to document the Allied Invasion of Europe. These combat photographers were armed, not with guns, but with cameras. In this mini-documentary we will be following three of the four detachments as we uncover their footage on the locations where they shot it!
