D-Day to Germany - (Rare HD color footage)
#1

Rare color footage shot from June to December 1944 by documentary filmmaker Jack Lieb, who worked for the newsreel company News of the Day and shot the D-Day landings and the campaign through France to Aachen. The film starts with images from London in the last summer of wartime, when V1 and V2 missiles still attacked the city. Lieb worked in a group of journalists together with Ernest Hemingway,

Thank you for the link to that great film Vee. In 13 years of WW2 research that is the first time I have seen Ernie Pyle shown on a newsreel ! There is also a lot of footage of US engineers at work too.

Verow,

 

You have done it again! I forwarded the video on and want you to know how much others appreciate your efforts - including, of course, me!

 

Thank you,

Jean
