D-Day Then & Now: 82nd Airborne Division 1944

Показать описание
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 our newest mini-documentary we will be following three of the four detachments as we uncover their footage on the locations where they shot it.

Reuben Weiner was one of the cameramen attached to the 82nd Airborne Division. He was part of Detachment ‘O’ of the 165th Signal Photo Company. He and the other men of the detachment received parachute jump training for their jump on D-Day. Together with Florent Plana we followed in his footsteps.

As a retired news cameraman, I have the greatest respect for the great men that toiled in anonymity to record the war for the world. I’m glad someone is telling their stories

People these days have access to Sat-Navs, Detailed Road Atlases and Maps and still get lost or have difficulty finding their destination. In a battle zone in a foreign country with countless snipers and the risk of imminent injury or death, thats enough to test the abilities of the most ardent map reader, and most of the villages around there are called Saint- something or other. Respects to Snafu Docs and all who fought in that Conflict.
