NBC Video of D-Day Vet Who Photographed the Invasion with Personal Camera

NBC's coverage of the 70th anniversary of D-Day included a video about Maurice Soloman, 294th Joint Assault Signal Company, who took his family camera with him to war. He took pictures on D-Day itself, and on the days following when thousands of men and 7,000 tons of equipment per day came ashore for the liberation of Europe. I'm not sure if this link will work, but you can go to www.NBC.com and look in the video section for the D-Day commemoration videos. This is video number 29 of 33.

Some of the things that Maurice said about his photography really resonated with me... and I'm going to do my best to remember them on those days when it's really hard to get out to take photos for the day. You never know whether or not a shot you take might become a piece of history

Darn, the link didn't work like it should have. Go to http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/d-day-70th-anniversary and look for video 29 of 33.

Touching story. You can still see the raw emotion and how that day stays with him. Thank you for sharing.

This should be the direct link...

@egad Thanks for the direct link. I can do all sorts of stuff in a complicated program like photoshop, but I have so much trouble with links to websites. :-)
